Matua Raki, Te Pou o Te Whaakaro Nui and Kina Families and Addictions Trust would like to invite addiction and mental health practitioners to ‘Talking to family and whānau: An introduction to the Supporting parents, healthy children (SPHC) guidelines’ workshop. These workshops are a follow up to the Ministry of Health and workforce development centre workshops offered to managers, team leaders and funders and planners earlier in February.

These workshops will:

• Introduce participants to the SPHC guidelines
• Get participants to think about implementation of the practitioner level essential and best practice elements contained in the guidelines
• Discuss family structures and dynamics
• Increase participants’ confidence in having conversations with parents and caregivers about the wellbeing of their children

These workshops are designed to suit addiction and mental health practitioners who want to understand more about their responsibilities in line with the SPHC guidelines, and explore ways of starting conversations about, and with family, whānau and children. They may not be suitable for very experienced practitioners who already work with family, children and whānau on a regular basis.

These workshops will be facilitated by Steve Roxburgh-King from Kina Families and Addictions Trust.
