Short Mental Health Interventions: Recognising the Impact of Domestic & Family Violence on children

For GPs and mental health professionals, domestic violence is often hidden in other presentation.

In this webinar, Dr Jan Orman and Professor Kelsey Hegarty, GP and domestic and family violence expert, will explore the ways in which domestic violence can present through children.

They will discuss the ways in which we might talk to children about violence at home and how we can help parents understand the impact of domestic violence on their children to encourage them to make changes for the better.

Mental health is the number one reason people see their GPs*, yet GPs are time poor and wait times to see psychologists are long. The need for mental health care is growing faster than specialised support and services are, leaving a gap in patient care.

This webinar series aims to provide GPs and other health professionals with skills to ‘fill the gap’ in providing mental health care to their patients using a range of brief interventions. Each webinar will be a discussion about the specific intervention and tips on how to use it effectively with your patients.
