This workshop is designed for counsellors and therapists, who have either completed the Safeguarding Awareness session, or who have a sound knowledge of child and adult safeguarding and are looking to expand their knowledge on working with disclosures of non-recent abuse in therapy and seeking further discussion around working with suicidality, thresholds and safeguarding dilemmas.
The specialised sessions are normally 1.5 hours each, however we are covering both in the 2 hour session, so the session may feel fast paced and I will signpost to additional reading away from the session.
The session will start at 6.15pm prompt. Please ensure that you join the Zoom link in plenty of time
A certificate of attendance for CPD is available.
