'Mental bites' webinar series - Prevention of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Children, adolescents, parenting
On-demand recorded 5 May 2022
‘Mental bites’ is a new lunch-time series with bite-sized information presented by the Psychological Medicine Specific Interest group. GPs are aware of mental health assessments, diagnosis, and management, but this series will be an opportunity to learn more about how to do the work - the micro-skills of engagement, forming safe and effective therapeutic alliances and communication with patients. The third webinar of the series looks at the role of GPs in preventing ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences). This webinar will highlight a practical skill the GP can take away from the session to use with patients as well as Q&A with a GP expert in this field.
