Targeted Support

COVID-19 Webinars

APMHA is providing regular webinars for our workforce. The aim of these monthly webinars (4th Thursday) is to provide updated information, troubleshooting, and general support. APMHA Clinicians are sent a link to this two days prior to each meeting. For further information, please contact admin@apmha.com.au.

Supervision

APMHA has a group of accessible and experienced clinicians that can provide quality mental health supervision, including clinical supervision and mentoring. We recognise the importance of supervision for professional development  and believe, with effective supervision, the process can be positively transformative for the supervisee, the client and, where relevant, the organisation.

We offer three options for clinical supervision:

Option one: Direct one to one supervision (phone, Skype or face to face)
Option two: Face to face, onsite group supervision
Option three: Collegial group supervision via webinar
