QC58 Developing Educators Program - new product coming soon!
A new learning suite to support the skills development of Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drugs Educators is on its way.
Due for launch late January 2022, the QC58 Developing Educators Program is being designed as a repository of 'bite sized' training and resources.
The first resource contained will be an eLearning module focused on understanding and developing learning outcomes to guide training development and delivery. The module Writing Learning Outcomes Made Easy is accompanied by work aids to be used in designing your own training.
Also planned is a recorded presentation Enhancing Mental Health Education using Simulation.
Additional custom-built eLearning modules are in planning, along with other video recordings, tools, tip sheets and reading material. Content development will continue to be informed by feedback sought via our network of Educators and the Educators Community of Practice (more on this below).
We can't wait to share this with you and look forward to more updates as this resource continues to develop into the future. |

Supervision courses update
Our three Supervision courses have always relied heavily on face-to-face content delivery to ensure effective transfer of skills. With demand for this training increasing, a need was identified to translate some of the foundational concepts to a more adaptive format; hence a 'Foundations of Supervision' eLearning module is currently in development.
This short module will offer a base level introduction to supervision, as well as a refresher on supervision concepts for those enrolling in QC4 Supervisor training.
We look forward to launching this product in early 2022. More redevelopment is planned in this space in line with the release of new supervision guidelines. Stay tuned for more updates. |

Suicide Prevention training and resources for Youth Justice
The Learning Centre were invited to collaborate on a project to strengthen Youth Justice workers understanding and application of suicide prevention in their workplace settings.
The focus has been on imparting practical skills to identify and assess young people at risk, determine the nature of the risk and response to the risk required, and provide brief interventions for addressing risk.
The project has involved the delivery of forums/webinars, and a suite of resources including; a lanyard prompt card with reminder questioning techniques, and suicide prevention toolkits, one of which is designed for staff and the other designed for Supervisors.
Initial feedback has indicated that the project has been a great success, with staff appreciating the new skills and tools to apply in practice. |
