Bespoke Training

We do not offer regular training sessions but we can create training tailored to the needs of your organisation. Training packages can be prepared and delivered to health professionals, disability professionals and consumer or carer organisations on:

  • Mental health in people with intellectual or developmental disability – multiple aspects
  • Behaviours of concern – introduction, assessment and management
  • Responsible prescribing of medication to people with intellectual disability 
  • Positive Behaviour Support – basic principles and approaches 

Depending on the scope and location of the training, these can be developed and delivered as:

  • Face-to-face workshops/seminars 
  • Online webinars 
  • E-learning modules 

Some examples of bespoke training we have developed and delivered include: 

  • One-day workshops for Northern Sydney Local Health District and South Eastern Sydney Local Health District staff on intellectual disability mental health 
  • E-learning modules for Victorian Government, Department of Education and Training Mental Health Practitioners on intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental health in young people 
  • Online Q&A panel for SANE Australia counsellors and peer workers on how to provide telephone and online counselling to people with intellectual disability and autistic people
  • Webinars for staff within Northern Sydney, Hunter New England and Mid North Coast Local Health Districts on intellectual disability health and mental health
  • Online masterclass for senior executives and leaders at disability organisations, funded by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission

The cost for developing the training will depend on the mode and length of training, and whether we have existing training material that we can draw on.

Please note: as bespoke training takes time to develop and deliver, please approach us as early as possible about your educational needs. We would be pleased to discuss timeframes and costs with you.
