Four-Day Online Introduction to Open Dialogue
With the increasing interest in Open Dialogue, this program is offered online to ensure access from people and organisations around Australia.
Open Dialogue is a way of listening, of being present with a person and their network and of ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard.
It is recognised by the World Health Organisation as an approach that elevates the voice and agency of the individual and their rights – enabling compassionate, recovery-oriented care, involving family and community.
It is also featured and encouraged in the Victorian Royal Commission into Mental Health and is a way to deliver on many of the recommendations
Participants will learn about:
- The origin, history and principles of Open Dialogue
- The skills used in network meetings, such as responsive listening and reflection
- The key elements of dialogic practice and how to apply them
- The importance of self-care and self-work and the need for continual development as a practitioner
- The essential and unique contribution of those with lived and living experience and importance of advocating for system change
- The concept of a network meeting and the basics of how to initiate and facilitate a network meeting in practice
- What the integration of the Open Dialogue approach into your life and work might mean for you.
Organised as two two-day online sessions separated by three weeks for reflection, reading and practice, this highly engaging program will explore the principles of Open Dialogue and the skills it can bring to life. This program will help you gain a deeper understanding of Open Dialogue, enabling you to start the process of integrating the key principles into your everyday practice. It will also enable you to explore how network meetings can become part of your work and practice.
This four-day introduction can serve as beneficial preparation for the One-Year Foundation Course starting in Sydney, May 2025.
Who should apply:
Anyone with an interest in learning more about Open Dialogue and especially those who work directly with people in need of support such as workers in community healthcare, lived and living experience workers, clinicians in the specialized mental health services, GPs, teachers, and others.
