SCHEDULE 

Keeping and strengthening our connections with other people is a challenge for all of us in Corona times.  These challenges affect us as individuals, but also when we work in teams.  SafePath Solutions is a Schema Therapy-based program developed by Dr. David Bernstein in 2011 to help teams work together more effectively.  In the mental health field, SafePath defines a team as any group that works together to provide care, for example, on a psychiatric ward, forensic hospital, residential treatment program, community outreach program, or school.  SafePath trainings are fun and lively, taking an interactive approach to learning that incorporates “serious games” and exercises, and makes extensive use of the image-based iModes tools.  The SafePath basic training gives team members the basic concepts and skills to function more effectively in teams.  The SafePath train-the-trainers program teaches team members how to coach and train teams within their organizations. In a recent randomized clinical trial of youth in residential treatment, SafePath teams functioned better, created a more supportive group climate, and had less need for severe, physical interventions, compared to usual care teams in the same institution (van Wijk-Herbrink et al., 2019).  

Since the onset of the pandemic, we have moved all of our SafePath trainings online to help teams meet the challenges of providing high quality care under difficult circumstances.  In this workshop, we give participants the chance to experience components of a SafePath online training.  We will simulate a SafePath basic training, asking the workshop participants to imagine themselves in the role of team members.
