The Forensic Mental Health Teaching Unit / Department of Forensic Mental Health Science at the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, would like to invite you to their forthcoming workshops. 

Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START) WorkshopInstitute of Psychiatry, 17th September 2010


 

This workshop will provide training in the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START: Webster, Martin, Brink, Nicholls, & Middleton), a structured professional clinical guide for the dynamic assessment of seven risk domains (violence, suicide, self-harm, victimization, substance use, unauthorised leave, and self-neglect). The START is intended for use alongside other structured risk assessment devices such as the HCR-20. The START provides a distinct opportunity to involve patient strengths as well as vulnerabilities in the development of risk management plans. The workshop will focus on how START can inform decision-making when used with patients in correctional, civil and forensic mental health settings.
