This online version of the ever-popular two-day workshop has designed offer a comprehensive and accessible exploration of the broad and eclectic strategies contained in the Medicare Protocol.

Beginning with a brief historical overview of mental health interventions, we then investigate the theoretical underpinnings, diagnostic categories and treatment strategies of the four main therapeutic modalities: psychological (cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience), psychotherapeutic (the unconscious mind and ‘therapeutic relationship’), systemic (family and narrative) and holistic (mindfulness and mind/body).

This series of online workshops has been designed to support social workers looking continue their professional development in an interactive, virtual small group environment.

We warmly welcome Victorian members and social workers to join us for this friendly gathering to bring our Green Social Work Practice Group back to life. Now more than ever, this group has a critical role to play in our own lives, and in the wider community.

We look forward to coming together, albeit online, to reimagine this group, to support each other and to explore opportunities to deepening our understanding and practice around green social work.
