We offer a range of training and supervision options to teams, organisations and individuals wishing to develop their Open Dialogue and dialogic practice. If you would like to talk with us about how our training and/or supervision might benefit your organisation, team or practice – please get in touch.
Introducing Open Dialogue
A 2-day experiential workshop that will introduce you to the ideas and practices of Open Dialogue, ideal for those wanting to understand more about the approach and get a felt-sense of what it can offer. This can be offered online or in person.
Dialogical Skills Workshop
An experiential workshop drawing on the values and skills from Open Dialogue (‘dialogic skills’) to inform and support collaborative and dialogical practice for mental health & social care workers of all professions.
Open Dialogue Foundation Practitioner Training
A 20-day course for those wishing to practice Open Dialogue and Open Dialogue-informed approaches, in line with the international standard. This course covers the theoretical and practice-based knowledge and experience necessary to practice Open Dialogue, adapted to meet your particular organisation’s context.
Open Dialogue Advanced Practitioner Training
Advanced trainings offer a space – an additional one or two years – for practitioners to further develop their Open Dialogue and dialogical skills and understanding. In teams offering Open Dialogue, this opportunity fosters a depth of experience that can support practitioners from a range of backgrounds in working with more challenging or complex situations.
Open Dialogue CPD Workshops
Over our years of Open Dialogue practice and supervision, certain topics come up again and again as challenges for practitioners. We have designed these workshops to address these challenges, and offer you dialogical ideas and practical supports to navigate them in your practice. They are aimed at practitioners who have – at least – completed the 1 year Foundation Training.
Supervision & Consultation
Open Dialogue supervision serves as a vital space for reflection and gaining insight into complex clinical situations. It enables us to develop our dialogical skills in responding to individuals and their social networks. Most importantly, it offers support to practitioners in the inevitable challenges of our practice, allowing us to explore the impact of the work and its connection to our own histories and relational contexts.
