Development
of National Competencies for Child Primary Mental Health Worker: The project has collaborated with the National Lead for Child Primary Mental Health Work on developing a set of capabilities for this role. To look at these click here. Linking
the Various Forms: Across
Kent and Medway there are various forms pf the Primary Mental Health
Worker. In some areas the
worker is linked to a Specialist Tier 3 CAMHS team, in other areas they
are linked to community based projects such as Sure Start or the WAVE
Project, in others they are linked to a specific population such as the
Mental Health workers for Looked After Children.
One of the aims of the project is to get some dialogue within and
between these various forms so that we can develop a coherent picture of
their service and thus training needs across Kent and Medway. Education
and Training for the CPMHW: The
project is in the process of working with the Higher Education Partnership
set up in Kent and Medway (to read more click

providing post-qualifying training for these Primary Mental Health
Workers. |
