Introduction to Bereavement The session aims to address the theory of grief and aspects of bereavement that should be useful to anybody working with young people and their families regardless of their role or the ages of their client group. A component of the session is devoted to bereaved teenagers and their needs for support pertinent to their developmental stage. We will look at what can help young people in their bereavement, and what can get in the way of their processing of their grief. The session will be interactive, and attendees will be encouraged to bring reflections and examples from their own work. Date

Working with Families; a Systemic Approach A key task of working with children can be to engage with the wider system around the child in order to effect change. This twilight presentation will introduce ideas and techniques from the field of family and systemic theory to support practitioners in their work. A brief account of the ideas and concepts that underpin systemic work will be presented with a range of practical ideas and creative approaches to work with and engage families.

Positive Behaviour Support: Understanding and Managing Challenging Behaviour This session is an opportunity to think about challenging behaviour in a different way. It will encourage participants to take a ‘step back’ from behaviour and to think about how we can understand it in terms of what it achieves for a young person (its ‘function’). The session will give practical tips on how to measure and record behaviour and how to analyse it to best understand the individual needs it meets for a young person. The session will be based on the eight‐week Positive Behaviour Support group that CAMHS LD‐FISS currently offer to parents on their caseload. Date

Children Beyond Parental Control Currently there are more and more referrals to CAMHS for children that are violent and aggressive towards their family members and or school staff. We will look at the dynamics when there is a reversal in power relations and review methods that have been shown to work with parents and schools. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complexity of working with child on parent violence and will be pointed in directions to get more information on strategies and support. Please note: this short session is an overview and not training in specific interventions. Thursday, 25th June 2015

Supporting Siblings of Disabled Children This session will be an opportunity to learn more about the emotional & psychological needs of siblings of children with a disability and hear about some practical ways of addressing these. We will be exploring some of the common issues and themes including: ‐  What do siblings say about their experiences?  Is it all difficult or are there any good bits?  What might they share or not share with others?  What kinds of support might siblings need? We will also be sharing information about some therapeutic approaches and practical resources for you to work with siblings as well as ways you can support parents to think about these issues with their children. A future workshop session could be offered if requested focusing in more depth on specific case studies and therapeutic and creative ways to support siblings and parents. Our team works with families with a child/young person with moderate to severe learning disabilities. Date
