RO DBT Advanced Practice Workshop

This workshop is ideally tailored for professionals who have successfully completed Level 2 training in Radically Open DBT and are aiming to enhance their clinical proficiency in Radically Open DBT through hands-on experiential learning. The workshop encompasses a comprehensive array of content often encountered during RO DBT supervision sessions. It incorporates immersive role-playing scenarios that illustrate RO DBT principles in action. Attendees will have the valuable chance to engage in protocol-based practice with peers and to observe live demonstrations led by Dr. Sophie Rushbrook and the faculty of the Australian DBT Institute. These demonstrations will furnish clinical illustrations, spotlighting crucial facets of RO DBT, and addressing prevalent challenges that practitioners encounter while applying an RO DBT approach. The workshop’s adaptable approach accommodates spontaneous teaching moments, interactive Q&A sessions, role-play opportunities, avenues for supervision, and the review of clinical recordings.

All participants are required to fulfil the following prerequisites:

1. Demonstrable utilisation of Radically Open DBT within their clinical practice.

2. Successful completion of, or near completion of, the Level 2 Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Blended Learning Course.

3. Have active client examples available for presentation during supervision sessions.

She has extensive experience dealing with suicidal behaviour with overcontrolled and undercontrolled clients.

Dr. Rushbrook was the Clinical Site Lead at the Dorset site for the multi-centre REFRAMED trial that tested the efficacy and mechanisms of RO DBT for treatment refractory depression with comorbid overcontrolled personality disorders. She has been intensively trained and worked under supervision of the treatment developer of RO DBT (Professor Lynch) since 2011. As a clinician on the pilot site Sophie was the first clinician to see individual patients and co-facilitated the first skills class.

We have been delivering workshops since 1999 and have trialed a range of approaches including printing materials and providing them electronically to support all attendees’ development. To keep our prices low and avoid printing extensive resources, our service provides online access to all materials from this workshop via our CMHE Academy website.

If not having a printout of workshop resources prior to the workshop impacts your capacity to participate in this workshop, please contact our admin team at admin@dbtinstitute.com.au and they will send you a pdf version of the slides (no cost).

No, we do not provide lunch for participants attending our workshops and courses. We do however arrange tea, coffee, and water from the beginning of each full-day workshop until the lunch break. Some locations also offer morning tea at an affordable rate and so we do offer morning tea at times.

Participants are given the option of a longer lunch or to order lunch at the morning tea break from local establishments and have their meal delivered to the training room.

We provide an electronic certificate to all participants of our workshops. Certificates can be downloaded from CMHE Academy and if you ever need to print them again you can do so from your CMHE Academy account.

Each year the Centre for Mental Health Education provides CPD opportunities to over 1,000 mental health professionals who claim their education with CMHE as CPD hours. All mental health professionals attending our CPD opportunities are eligible to claim CPD hours if the course/workshop/retreat is relevant to their work as mental health or counselling professionals. There is legislation and AHPRA acknowledgement of this very statement.

To record a professional development activity towards your CPD hours, members of mental health professional and counselling bodies are required to ensure the activity is relevant to them and is consistent with the categories defined in your particular professional body’s CPD Policy.

Health practitioners registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency must undertake continuing professional development (CPD). The CPD requirements of each National Board are detailed in the Registration Standards for each profession, published on each Board’s website (see below links for AHPRA CPD Statements). For professions not registered under AHPRA, their associations have professional development requirements.

Centre for Mental Health Education (CMHE) and our affiliates no longer seek the external endorsement of mental health professionals and counselling bodies due to AHPRA’s acknowledgement that when activities are relevant to your clinical practice they do not require such endorsement. Members of all mental health professional and counselling registration bodies can still accrue CPD hours by participating in activities of the Centre for Mental Health Education. Your CPD activity must be determined to be relevant to your individual professional requirements. 

All CMHE programs have been developed by qualified mental health professionals who are currently practising in their professional area, hold post-graduate qualifications, and are peer-reviewed. If CMHE courses are relevant to your practice as a mental health professional then our courses meet the requirements of mental health professional and counselling registration bodies as outlined by the Australian Health Practitioner legislation.

Please check with your professional leader or registered professional organisation for recommendations.
