Cross-training: Legal trajectories for individuals with mental health problems or intellectual disability (in French) – May 18

Category: Training for professionals
Cross training is an approach which is increasingly used to improve the operation between service networks and crossing areas. The interface between mental health systems and justice is a good example of these so-called “intersectorial” services.

This cross training session aims to improve the understanding of the role and reality of all actors involved in the trajectories of individuals with mental health problems incurred in a judicial process.

Lectures by actors from different backgrounds and different realities take place early in the day to learn more about the different sectors involved in the interface between mental health and justice. Then, an exchange session based on clinical case vignettes will allow participants to meet professionals from different backgrounds and learn more about their particular realities. These exchanges will allow a discussion of issues related to the interface between mental health and justice, pointing out possible solutions and research needs to overcome these issues.

For more details, consult the program (in French).

You can also print the poster.
