Professional Development Program

Forensicare’s Forensic Mental Health Professional Development Program (FMHPDP), delivered in collaboration with the Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science, provides a professional development program for individuals, teams and organisations looking to expand their knowledge and understanding of forensic behaviour and mental health issues. Workshops are provided throughout the year and are also available on request.

Improving Knowledge, Improving Practice

Our training program aims to promote knowledge and skills utilising evidence-based expertise developed on a foundation of advancing consumer-informed best practice.

As a specialist service, trainers from Forensicare and the Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science include some of the most highly regarded and experienced clinicians and researchers in the field of forensic mental health. Our current program will be of interest to a wide cross section of individuals and organisations including those who work in health, community, and criminal justice sectors.
