Clinical Corner: prevention and early intervention
This session brings together the key themes explored across our recent webinars on the prevention and early intervention.
This chatty, podcast-style webinar offers a relaxed and interactive space to revisit the most important clinical messages from the quarter. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions in advance and during the session, creating an opportunity to explore real-world challenges, clarify key concepts, and deepen understanding of best practice when supporting individuals within prevention and early intervention.
We will also highlight relevant intervention solutions and explore practical strategies for teaching and supporting others, and we will share our Prevention and early intervention guide with attendees after the session to support ongoing learning and application in practice.
Whether you joined us throughout the series or are looking for a concise and practical summary, this session will consolidate learning and provide actionable insights to apply in practice.
