Formulation: Understanding the Child and Family

Time: 7:00-8.30 PM AEST

Online Webinar

Formulation: Understanding the child and family in focused psychological strategies for children (5-12 years)

Join us for the third webinar in the RACGP Specific Interests and Emerging Minds series, which will focus on approaches to formulation that enable children’s participation and consider the child’s perspective on the presenting concerns. Rather than focusing on causal explanations, these formulation approaches help children to think about what gets in the way of them living their ´best life’. It covers ways of engaging children in conversations about the strengths, skills and values that have helped them to respond to the presenting problem so far. The webinar will also include discussion on how case formulations can be written in collaboration with children to ensure their experiences are respectfully and accurately represented.

Moving Beyond the War on Pain

Time: 7:00-8.30 PM AEST

Online Webinar

In this session, we’ll explore how the language we use—especially in imaging reports and patient conversations—can shape a person’s pain experience. We’ll also discuss nociplastic pain, where pain persists without clear structural damage, and how both central sensitisation and threat-based narratives can drive this process. What can GPs do differently? We’ll cover practical realistic communication strategies to foster safety rather than fear, helping patients reframe their relationship with their bodies and their pain
