Dr. King has co-facilitated training with Babette Rothschild in Australia, UK, Singapore and New Zealand. Annually the Centre for Mental Health Education provides continuing professional development in Australia, the UK, Singapore, Thailand and South Africa with a specialisation in DBT, SBT and Safe Trauma Therapy approaches.

WHY CHOOSE CMHE?

WE VALUE EXPERIENCES!

Centre for Mental Health Education facilitators draw on both lived experience and clinical experiences when delivering quality continuing professional development experiences for qualified mental health professionals. The input from carers, consumers, peers and our own experiences provide a broad informed basis for our education and development programs.

WE ARE INFORMED

The Centre for Mental Health Education’s facilitators have all engaged in formalised research including PhDs, Workplace Based Research Projects and Australian Research Council Funded research programs. While the importance of research is never denied, our team also considers each individual to be unique requiring an adapted approach to mental health care where indicated.
