Recognising, Screening and Assessing Complex Trauma

The Mental Health Professional Network webinar features an interdisciplinary panel discussion on recognizing, screening, and assessing complex trauma. Hosted by Mary Emelius, the panel includes a consumer advocate, clinical psychologist, GP with a special interest in mental health, and a psychiatrist. The discussion revolves around a case study of Tanya, a 36-year-old woman presenting with signs of complex trauma, focusing on assessment strategies, creating a safe environment, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The panelists share insights on addressing anxiety, shame, boundary issues, and the importance of relationship-building and hope in the therapeutic process, while also touching upon the use of diagnostic tools and various therapeutic approaches.
