MARAM Training

The Centre was pleased to partner with the  Department of Health (DH) to deliver the below MARAM training to over 700 participants from health workforces:

• MARAM Identification training – for new starters or those wanting MARAM refresher training – This training was for those with MARAM identification responsibilities including (but not limited to) maternal and child health nurses, Community Health Services, and general practitioners.
• MARAM Intermediate Training – for new starters or those wanting MARAM refresher training – This training was for those with MARAM intermediate responsibilities including (but not limited to) alcohol and other drug workers, and the mental health and wellbeing workforce.
• MARAM intermediate training for mental health and wellbeing clinicians – this two-hour training session was designed for all mental health and wellbeing clinicians with intermediate MARAM responsibilities in any role within the mental health and wellbeing sector.
• Putting MARAM into Practice workshops x 3 – All were welcome to attend these workshops however, they were best suited to those who had completed the MARAM intermediate training and want to expand their learning.
  • Techniques for maintaining engagement and difficult family violence conversations – This workshop took a trauma-informed lens to the reasons why a person experiencing violence may not engage, or struggle to engage, or may even begin to disengage, when we try to work with them about violence they are experiencing.
  • Advanced case notes and documentation in a family violence context – This workshop helped practitioners align their case notes with MARAM’s evidence base and language, it helped practitioners to meet their legal obligations, and ensure their case notes have a positive impact on the person experiencing violence if they were to read them in future.
  • Intermediate risk assessment and risk management – Using detailed case studies and practical workshopping, this workshop tackled the challenges of helping a person experiencing violence build their confidence and capacity to manage their safety, and that of their family. It also built practitioners capability to undertake intermediate risk assessment and management.
