Short Mental Health Interventions: Tips for Talking to Teens

  • Duration
    30 minutes 
  • Program Outline

    In this webinar Dr Nicola Holmes will join Dr Jan Orman to bring her experience and expertise as they look at a formal framework for assessing teens in clinical practice (HEADSS) and discuss the most practical ways of making this framework useful. They will also have a special focus on what health professionals need to know when engaging a reluctant teen.


    Mental health is the number one reason people see their GPs*, yet GPs are time poor and wait times to see psychologists are long. The need for mental health care is growing faster than specialised support and services are, leaving a gap in patient care. This webinar series aims to provide GPs and other health professionals with skills to ‘fill the gap’ in providing mental health care to their patients using a range of brief interventions. Each webinar will be a discussion about the specific intervention and tips on how to use it effectively with your patients. How do we treat family and friends? What are the things to look out for, what are the barriers and possible solutions for success. *General Practice Health of the Nation report, RACGP, 2021.
