PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP 2
2025-10-24 14:30 - 2025-10-26 17:30
Responding with Clarity: Suicide Inquiry, Intervention and Postvention for Clinicians & Mental Health Professionals

Date: Friday 24th October 2025
Venue: Le Meridien Hotel, Petaling Jaya
Time: 1430-1730 hours
Helping individuals feeling worthless and hopeless: Enhancing Skills and Self-Care.
Self-harm and suicidality are rising clinical challenges. Clients often present with feelings of hopelessness and despair, or families reach out fearful for their loved ones’ safety. These individuals frequently present in outpatient settings, be it hospitals, universities, private clinics, or community centres, where clinicians are often called to respond amidst the demands of a busy schedule.
The need for timely, compassionate, and effective intervention is critical, despite constraints on time and resources. This interactive workshop equips mental health professionals with practical skills, systemic insights, and strategies for self-care so that you can manage high-risk presentations with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
Key Learning Components

Core Clinical Skills in Suicide Assessment

How to conduct a suicide inquiry under time constraints
Identifying risk & protective factors
Developing person-centred crisis interventions and safety plans

Systemic Lens on Suicide and Self-Harm

How to conduct a suicide inquiry under time constraints
Identifying risk & protective factors
Developing person-centred crisis interventions and safety plans

Postvention for Professionals

Addressing the emotional impact of suicide work on clinicians
Tools for debriefing & reflective practice
Building resilience through self-care and supportive organisations

Why This Workshop Matters
Participants will leave with strengthened clinical competence, greater confidence in managing high-risk presentations, and renewed clarity about their role in suicide prevention and response. Beyond clinical skills, the workshop acknowledges the emotional toll of this work and provides participants with strategies to care for themselves and their teams.
Ultimately, this workshop aims to prepare mental health professionals not just to survive the storm of suicidality but to navigate it with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Mental Capacity Assessment Across All Ages: From Childhood to Elderly Care – A Psychiatric
Perspective
Date: Friday 24th October 2025
Venue: Le Meridien Hotel, Petaling Jaya
Time: 0900-1200 hours
Mental capacity assessment is no easy task.
As psychiatrists, clinicians, or allied health professionals, you’re often running a tight schedule. Yet some
clients stay on your mind; you can’t help but wonder:
• What’s the best course of action?
• I need to assess their decision-making capacity; did I do it correctly?
These are not just clinical questions; they’re responsibilities that impact patient care, autonomy, and safety.
That’s where this workshop comes in.
Join us for an in-depth and practical exploration of mental capacity assessment, from children navigating
developmental decisions to older adults facing complex health and cognitive challenges.
What You’ll Gain
• Clear, practical frameworks for assessing capacity across different age groups.
• Real-world case discussions to sharpen your clinical judgment.
• Guidance on making and justifying referrals.

Interpersonal Group Therapy
2025-10-07 09:00 - 2025-10-09 17:00
Greetings mental health professional,
Group therapy can be a powerful way to help people grow and heal. But even though it works well, many of us don’t use it much because it can feel tricky and hard to manage.
The truth is, most of us learned how to do one-on-one therapy, not group work. But what if there was a way to lead groups with confidence, without feeling stressed or unsure?
This 3-day workshop is designed for practitioners who want to build or strengthen their group therapy skills:
🎓 Interpersonal Group Therapy: Improving Client Outcomes with Process-Focused Facilitation Skills
📅 Oct 7-9, 2025 (Tuesday to Thursday)
⏱ 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
📍 RUANG @ PJ (Level 15, Menara PKNS Petaling Jaya)
🧠 Led by Professor Louis Downs, PhD, a seasoned expert in process group therapy.
This workshop includes:
✅ Learn the model of process group therapy
✅ Live demonstrations of group process
✅ Introduction to group work for trauma, anxiety, depression, and more
✅ Hands-on and experiential learning
Whether you’re a psychologist, counselor, or therapist, this hands-on experience will help you feel more confident, strengthen your skills, and make a bigger difference through group work.
Register and join us for an immersive 3-day learning experience.
