ABOUT SHARED LEARNING IN CLINICAL PRACTICE

Shared Learning in Clinical Practice is a policy relevant and service delivery focussed collaboration to promote best practice in mental health and develop professional skills. The strategic purpose of the initiative is to demonstrate through research and practical example, how much consumers, clinicians, policy makers and academic faculty can achieve working together. Deep discussion, deep connectivity and diffusion of the insights are central to its philosophy. Multidisciplinary in composition, the aim of each publication, podcast, film, social media communication and symposium is to capture and spread new ideas and know-how in mental health practice and challenge traditional ways of thinking. Shared Learning in Clinical Practice updates are regularly posted on Twitter at @MHResearchUniSA.

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

The 9th Shared Learning in Clinical Practice Symposium is a joint initiative between UniSA’s Mental Health and Substance Use Research Group and the Links to Wellbeing Consortium comprising Neami National, Mind Australia Limited, Skylight Mental Health and Uniting Care Wesley Bowden (UCWB). The Symposium is supported by partners Adelaide Primary Health Network and Northern Health Network. The Symposium represents an opportunity to bring people together to consider and discuss themes around therapeutic engagement, autonomy, self-direction, choice and risk within a mental health recovery framework. The overarching aim of the Symposium is to provide an environment for government and non-government workers, mental health consumers, carers and policy makers to reflect and learn from one another regarding the complexities of modern-day practice in mental health care and the implications of the various reform and service delivery priorities. This will be achieved through a series of panels and contributions from invited speakers. Audience participation will be encouraged through facilitated discussion designed to deepen participants’ understanding and appreciation of the nature, scope and consequences of engagement, risk and engagement in mental health care. Specifically, negotiation of working relationships across the continuum of mental health, while simultaneously taking into account differing perspectives and divergent viewpoints.
