Sector Days
The Werry Centre is contracted by the Ministry of Health to manage the quarterly Child and Adolescent Mental Health Sector Days.
Next Sector Day:
To be advised.
>>Project Concept / Aim:
Werry Workforce has managed the quarterly Child and Youth Mental Health Sector Days since June 2007. These days were originally facilitated by the senior child and adolescent mental health advisor to the Ministry of Health in order to develop a national CAMHS network. Acting on feedback gathered from a Werry Centre questionnaire distributed to participants, it has been recognised that the needs of those participating in the Sector Days are changing as more clinicians and NGO representatives attend what was originally a day aimed at DHB CAMHS managers, team leaders and clinical directors. Responding to the sector’s feedback, we will continue to provide opportunities for both Managers and Clinicians to meet with agendas targeted to the differing needs of participants.
>>Objectives:
Werry Workforce will coordinate and facilitate the quarterly Child and Youth Mental Health and Addictions Sector Days as a vehicle for the disseminationof information from the Ministry of Health and national agencies. Sector Days also provide opportunities for sharing innovative practice and service development ideas between services and foster networking and leadership support.
>>Outputs:
- Werry Workforce will organise and facilitate four Child and Youth Sector Days in Year 4.
- Werry Workforce will create the agenda for each Sector Day in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and other national workforce development centres where relevant to the child and adolescent sector.
- Sector Day presentations will be posted on the Werry Centre website.
- A web based discussion forum will be moderated developing themes arising from sector days.
>>Evaluation:
Werry Workforce will seek participant evaluations at each meeting, analyse the demographics of participants and conduct an annual review of the Sector Days to ensure they remain relevant for attendees.
