In addition to my online trining, once the coronavirus social distancing restrictions are lifted I offer two levels of Training:
Level One is for whole teams of front-line staff and covers the PIE areas with a focus on Reflective Practice and Understanding Complex Needs.
Level Two is a "Training the PIE Facilitator" training course to train staff within services to develop PIE within their own service.
I also deliver “How to facilitate group reflective practice” training.

You could start by registering to be a member of pielink.net which is free and is a community of practice around PIE sharing ideas and resources.

The Story of my Recovery Journey published by AFT CONTEXT magazine "Open Dialogue" ed 

I experienced Complex Needs in the 1990's and since finding ways to get better have been passionate for 20 years about developing and delivering better services for this client group. I have managed Personality Disorder Accommodation services and been a senior Care Co-coordinator in an Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) service.  I am also a Systemic Practitioner within Systemic Family Psychotherapy and  wrote an article about my recovery from trauma and how it relates to the"Open Dialogue" approach to mental health recovery. I am currently completing a PhD in Complex Needs.
​My article was published by the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice (AFT) CONTEXT magazine, Issue 138 on "Open Dialogue", April 2015 and can be read here:
