Establishing effective collaborative practices between treatment providers

Carmen Betterridge will reflect on strategies to support collaborative engagement between treatment providers, where clients dignity of risk and capacity for self determination are supported. Factors underpinning non-collaborative clinicians behaviour will be described, and the impact that this can have on therapeutic engagement.

• Understanding the client to understand the treatment needs
• Psychosocial, needs based suicide risk assessment to support formulation
• Developing communication protocols to support collaborative practice
• Ensure safe communication with referral options

Finally, we offer 5 tips that you can work from in order to build a collaborative approach to treatment
