Course outline:
The Knowledge and Understanding Framework or KUF is a national training programme which takes a co-produced, multiagency, trauma-informed approach to working with the complexities associated with personality disorder.
Over three days KUF is designed to:
• Explore different perspectives around complex mental health needs associated with the diagnosis of ‘personality disorder’.
• Outline different ways of understanding complex mental health needs through examining how someone’s past experiences can affect their present.
• Develop an understanding of how to work effectively with people with complex mental health needs, considering how teams and individuals can remain effective and resilient.
• Reflect on different approaches to working with people with complex mental health needs and the impact of reactions and responses.
• Explore the impact of working with people with complex mental health needs on the wider team.
The training is delivered by the KUF Development Team at Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust (NSFT).
