Podcasts

Tune into The Peregrine Centre's insightful podcasts. Hear leading experts unravel complex mental health topics, spark thought-provoking discussions, and equip you with practical insights you can readily apply in your practice.

Getting Started with Peer Work

Lived experience expertise has been rapidly growing as a key component of recovery orientated practice. Peer work can help break down barriers to mental health care, facilitate hope, and help organisations reflect on their practices for the benefit of consumer care. Yet many people can feel confused about the role of a peer worker, and how to integrate peer work into care appropriately.

Getting Started with Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing was first developed for use with people with substance abuse problems, however in its 40 year history it has been applied with a range of presentations. At its core, Motivational Interviewing places emphasis on listening, empathy, and encouraging our client’s own knowledge.

Getting Started with Narrative Therapy

Probably Australia's best known export to the therapy world, the model of Narrative Therapy is used with individuals, families and communities worldwide. It is particularly well supported in its use with Indigenous peoples. But Narrative Therapy is a pretty different. It requires a different way of thinking, leading to a unique use of language.

Practice Toolkits

Rural practitioners often have to be across a lot of areas. Our practice toolkits contain tips and tricks for working with different client groups, or in different modalities. These topics have been selected based on requests from MH practitioners around NSW. We have collated helpful resources for you and the people you work with to support your practice.

Using Telehealth Effectively in Mental Health Care

Telehealth services increased significantly in the context of COVID-19, and many services continue to offer telehealth options. Despite this, many practitioners report only using telehealth out of necessity, and feel ambivalent about utilising telehealth. This resource provides an update of the evidence and practical considerations for telehealth.

Working with LGBTQIA+SB Clients

Who is this toolkit for?​ The following toolkit is designed for any mental health practitioners working across remote, rural or regional NSW who wish to understand more about working with LGBTQIA+SB people and have not completed speciality training.

Working with older adults experiencing mental health concerns

Many older adults may present with mental health concerns similar to other age groups, and general mental health assessment and intervention skills will be useful for this population.
