Forensic Mental Health Practice and Training: Expanding Programming in Washington

This is the first of a three-part webinar series related to forensic mental health. Participants interested in this topic are encouraged to attend the series, but each presentation can be viewed independently and participation in one is not dependent on participation in other lectures in the series. This presentation will provide an overview of forensic mental health services and introduce participants to the University of Washington’s Center for Mental Health, Policy, and the Law. The Center has three primary arms: education and training; research and policy; and service. The three Center arms will be discussed in this presentation with particular emphasis on training and education in forensic mental health. Subsequent lectures in the webinar series will illustrate work relevant to other arms of the Center.

 

Learning Objectives

  1. Participants will become familiar with the bread of forensic mental health and unique roles of forensic mental health clinicians

  2. Participants will learn about the University of Washington Center for Mental Health, Policy, and the Law (CMHPL)

  3. Participants will gain appreciation for the role for increased training in forensic mental health
