Making Waves – Day One Date: Friday 6th November 2015 Workshop Description: This one-day workshop explores the Making Waves model of practice developed at Turning Point to address the needs of AOD clients with whose treatment provides additional challenges because of issues such as self-harm, intense emotionality and/or difficult interpersonal relationships. The approach is based on the Wise Choices treatment package, an adaptation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, developed by Spectrum personality disorder service, to meet the needs of clients with symptoms of borderline personality disorder. This approach has now been trialled in a range of settings (mental health, drug and alcohol, community health and forensic) and with a range of ages (adolescents and adults). It is an approach that is relatively easy to learn and which is useful across a wide range of mental health issues as well as AOD treatment. We would especially encourage those in supervisory roles to attend. Attendees will learn: How to identify heart-felt life directions which can energise treatment Simple mindfulness and acceptance techniques for dealing with difficult thoughts and feelings Exercises to help clients notice choice points and make wiser choices How understanding the function and context of drug and alcohol use, self-harm and other selfdamaging choices can guide treatment Trainer: Jane Morton is a clinical psychologist with over thirty years’ experience in treating clients with severe interpersonal and emotional difficulties in public sector settings. She was lead author of the consultants’ report which led to the establishment of Spectrum – the personality disorder service for Victoria, and lead author of a report which formed the basis of Take Two, a therapeutic service for children and young people in out of home care. She was training manager at Spectrum for over ten years and has provided consultation and training to Turning Point and Eastern Drug and Alcohol Service staff during the trial of the Wise Choices treatment approach for the Making Waves Project. Who should attend? The training is suitable for clinicians with five or more years of experience who would like to explore how to use acceptance, mindfulness and values-based action approaches with a wide range of clients, including those with severe emotional and interpersonal difficulties. It is suitable for clinicians who are new to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as those with previous training or experience with ACT.
