Working Therapeutically with People Who Are a Danger to Themselves or Others

A Training Programme in Forensic Mental Health

An exciting new development that draws on the expertise of the Portman Clinic to deliver training opportunities for professionals in the north of England working with violent, disturbed and personality disordered people in a range of public and voluntary sector settings.

"Working with mentally disturbed patients inevitably and unavoidably produces some degree of emotional reaction in the practitioner. This programme provides active professional training to enable practitioners to be able to manage and learn from these emotional experiences in order to deliver effective services.”

The brochure below provides further information about the aim of the programme and details of an intial three day course beginning in May 2008. This course is now full but if you are interested in future events in this programme please let us have your details.

The programme is a joint venture between:

  • Leeds Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust
  • Northern Network for Forensic Psychotherapy
  • Northern School of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy
  • Portman Clinic, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust
  • With funding support from NHS Yorkshire and the Humber
