Posted: 2009-05-29 | Venue: Camden, London
Brookdale Care are proud to be sponsoring this conference that is focussing on the Mental Health needs of people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions.
The Estia Centre and Pavilion have put together this conference which brings together expert political and clinical thought leaders including:
- Elaine Hill - Specialist Advisor for Autism, DOH
- Dr Jane McCarthy - Consultant Psychiatrist
- Jo Grant - Clinical Psychologist
- Paula Forrester - Head of Nursing, Tier 4, CAMHS
- Sue Hatton - Training Manager, Autism West Midlands
- Frazer Clark - National Audit Office
- Elizabeth Attfield - Family Liaison, Autism West Midlands
Unlike other conferences, this seminar brings mental health issues to the forefront, an area which is often overlooked. It will allow you to explore psychological interventions, service delivery and how to support people with autism through adulthood. You will be presented with an update on national policy, as well as hearing valuable first-hand experience from those people with autism.
The conference will explore:
- the mental health needs of adults with ASC
- the views of people using services
- national strategy for adults with ASC
- presentation of mental health problems in people with ASC
- psychological interventions
- training staff to support adults with ASC
