Well researched

published

This webinar has a strong research base to support the discussion and strategies. There were some issues with the link to the presenters dropping out, however the material to be informative and relevant.

Well organised and facilitated

published

The Summit was well organised and easy to access with reminders sent by email before the event which I found helpful. The short breaks were great to recharge and enable to refocus for the next presenter.
The speakers all had their own style of delivery a few a little on facts and figures, however still good learning and all very helpful and willing to suggest further follow up material to read.
Over all I was very satisfied with presentation and course content.

Review

published

Satisfied with all course material and presentations. At times internet connections, mine and theirs, were problematic, but hey, isn't that always the case with internet meets.



Stand out presentations, for me, were (a)working with men and workplace health and (b)safety when working with suicide prevention.

A great way to access good information

published

I was able to attend 3 lectures over the 2 days and found each one of them to be highly informative, relevant and interesting. The course was not difficult and the information was presented in a very accessible manner. I was delighted to receive the handouts which included links to research articles.
I would definitely attend again.



Very informative

published

I found this course to be very overwhelming, but informative. As I am not a mental health professional some of the sessions went over my head, I thought. But I am very happy that I participated, it gives me a better insight into what to look for in our clients. The session that was on self and team care in the workplace was very valuable as we are a very small team of volunteers and one emergency relief coordinator. I would like to thank all the presenters for sharing their time and knowledge. I would like to keep learning more about how to help our community and keep our small team safe and well.

It was great.

published

It was great. I especially enjoyed the Aboriginal content. I always find the variety of expertise presented makes the webinars invaluable sources of information. I would have liked at least one more webinar relating to school age children otherwise great weekend.

Excellent way to spend some down time

published

A time smart and convenient way to access information about suicide prevention with various specialist presenters covering many different aspects fundamental to promoting positive mental health and wellbeing. Relevant and current research relating to suicide prevention significantly raised the importance and the need to target specific demographics and risk assessment policy to improve the delivery of mental health support in the future. Thanks to MHA and all the presenters.

It has to be good if you are willing to give up your Sunday morning

published

Really enjoyed being part of this and it was a privileged to listen to these experts. A great range of topics and information. Lots of essential take-aways. Looking forward to being a part of this next year. I hope they continue to provide an online option.

good overview

published

great topics and well presented. good length of sessions with break allowing for screen fatigue. hard to see some slides working on small screen and lots of content.
Well organised by the academy.
thank you

Handy talks

published

useful range of topics pertaining to suicide and counseling. apart from many presenters having initial problems getting slides working, quite professional and easy to follow without drifting from evidence base

Lots of really useful information

published

The summit was very well organised despite a few technical issues. All the information provided was of high quality and the presenters were very knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. I particularly liked the presenters who presented their own research. Overall, a very valuable learning experience for me.

I found it very accessable and informative

published

Most kept me engaged. One or two I struggled to keep focused as there was so much information (felt somewhat overloaded...it could be just be me who struggled) but the delivery wasn't very helpful...but still quite good.
There was only one I found to be quite distracting and bordering on being unhelpful because it seemed to be driven by a tone of cultural resentment in the delivery, which meant helpful information became quite overshadowed.

Refresher

Well organised, professional and punctural start. Good breaks between sessions- helps with screen fatigue. Informed presentations, easily accessed from a rural setting. Great having links and ability to download slides. Well done

Well planned and excellent speakers

published

The way the program was organised over 2 days and with sessions spaced out to enable a break between speakers made this summit very accessible. The speakers were excellent, knew their topics well and kept me engaged.

Tune Up

published

I found this to be a chance to tune up - check in - and put this important area to front of mind. I was able to get up dated research and information. Following on I always make a peer supervision/gathering to discuss the summit and how it will impact our work going forward.

Good Balance

published

Very pleasing to hear the relevance and form of current research and that outcomes are benefiting needy
communities already. The weekend provided framework for practice, person centred care and compassion for practitioner and those living the experiences and the need for peer to peer work The format of the web-in-air was excellent.

Great opportunity to review and build on knowledge

published

Yes, great presenters. Presenting with sensitive language, yet at the same time provided clear directive processes, with good evidence based, lived experience and specialised information.
Great opportunity for everyone involved. Certainly a much needed conference.

Hi Siobhan,
I pay the subscription monthly and since being a member have attended a number of Master Classes and the annual Summits and have not paid any extra. So, no, no extra costs/ fees.

You can use it to maintain the required annual CPD points for your AMHSW accreditation

Mental Health Academy

Hi Steph, thanks for your question. All our courses are endorsed for CPD by the AASW. As an AMHSW you are also required to undertake CPD which specifically covers Focussed Psychological Strategies, or FPS. Currently we offer over 90 hours of FPS-related CPD - to identify which courses cover FPS, you can either use our "Topics" filter (in the Catalogue page), or you can refer to our FPS Course Collection: https://www.mentalhealthacademy.com.au/catalogue/collections/focussed-psychological-strategies-fps-topics

Yes, the Mental Health Academy is for ongoing professional development, to learn more on counselling therapies, and obtain certificates.
If you are with the Australian Counselling Association the points get added to your OPD log.

Mental Health Academy
PedroMental Health Academy

Hi Kate! Thank you for your question. Registration for the Mental Health Super Summit is separate to MHA membership, as part of the event's purpose is to raise funds for charity. That being said, after each edition of the Summit, many of the sessions are converted into MHA courses and are available for members via our Catalogue. Thus, by becoming a MHA Premium member, you'll have access to most sessions from previous editions for the Mental Health Super Summit. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. All the best!
