What has been achieved so far?
The Department of Health funds the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare to deliver MARAM training to health workforces. In quarter three the Department of Health supported a collaboration between the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare and the Centre for Mental Health Learning to develop new MARAM training specifically tailored for the mental health and wellbeing workforce. Following input from Specialist Family Violence Advisors in mental health and wellbeing area services, the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare will deliver this new module during quarter four of 2023-24.
The training was designed for all mental health and wellbeing clinicians with intermediate MARAM responsibilities in any role within the mental health and wellbeing sector. The training acknowledges the important role the mental health and wellbeing sector has in responding to people experiencing violence and it aims to:
- build skills in recognising and responding to family violence
- support clinicians to embed skills they already have
- contribute to their understanding of family violence
- build their confidence in undertaking their MARAM responsibilities.
The two-hour training is interactive and delivered online by experienced trainers – including trainers with mental health and wellbeing clinical skills and family violence MARAM expertise. The Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare will also deliver the sessions in person onsite at mental health and wellbeing services.
MARAM training sessions are available to book via the The Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare website.
