MARAM Training for Mental Health and Wellbeing Clinicians
Build Your Skills and Confidence
The Centre is pleased to partner with Safer Care Victoria in 2024-25 to deliver MARAM intermediate training for mental health and wellbeing clinicians.
The MARAM intermediate training for mental health and wellbeing clinicians runs over two hours and was developed with the Centre for Mental Health Learning with input from Specialist Family Violence Advisors in area mental health and wellbeing services.
The training is designed for all mental health and wellbeing clinicians with intermediate MARAM responsibilities in any role within the mental health and wellbeing sector. Delivered by experienced trainers, including trainers with mental health and wellbeing clinical skills and family violence MARAM expertise, the training strengthens skills in recognising and responding to family violence, supports clinicians to embed skills they already have, increases their understanding of family violence, and builds their confidence in undertaking their MARAM responsibilities.
Training content is based on MARAM evidence-based practice guidance, and it aligns with the Chief Psychiatrists guideline and practice resource: family violence, and Our workforce, our future – a capability framework for Victoria’s mental health and wellbeing workforce family violence capability seven – Understanding and responding to family violence. It highlights the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022 gender safety principle and information sharing when it doesn’t put people at risk of experiencing family violence. It also looks at how a person’s mental health can be used against them as a tactic of family violence.
