📢Reminder! 9 days to register: A KMF Research Report Launch ❓ How can we facilitate the involvement of victims and witnesses in national and international accountability mechanisms for atrocity crimes and what is the psychological impact of these mechanisms on them? How can mental health and psychosocial (MHPSS) approaches improve witness evidence, victim well-being and ultimately, justice outcomes. The “Integration of mental health and psychosocial approaches in accountability mechanisms for atrocity crimes” research project, supported by the Knowledge Management Fund, aimed to fill this gap. To mark the release of the report, a launch event co-organized by the lead researcher An Michels, the Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken and the Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law will be held on May 16th, in-person at the Carlton Ambassador Hotel and online via Zoom. 🤝 Register now to discuss strategies, challenges, and best practices in ensuring meaningful and coherent use of MHPSS approaches in accountability-seeking processes. 🎟 For more information and registration: bit.ly/3WgesrE

Strategic Family Therapists think and redefine people as being benevolently motivated probably because this view is more conducive to sympathy and interest in the human dramas brought to therapy. This is helpful whether the therapist conceptualization of the problem coincides with the view that is presented to them by the family. This redefinition of the problem brought to therapy can help alter the perspective and help motivate what needs to be done to change the system. For example, a rebellious adolescent may present themself as being motivated by hostility and the desire for independence and the parents may see them that way. The therapist can work with this view and design an appropriate intervention for it or may think that the young person's benevolent concern over their parents leads him to distract them from their other difficulties by providing them with a focus for their concern. 

NDIS Price Limit Updates for Psychological Services We’re sharing some important news highlighted by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) regarding updates to NDIS pricing: 📈 Increased Price Limits for Psychologists: The hourly NDIS price limits for therapy supports, early childhood supports, and specialist behavior intervention supports provided by psychologists have increased by 3.9%. 🧠 Exclusive to Psychologists: This adjustment makes psychologists the only therapy support provider group recommended for an increase by the NDIA’s Annual Pricing Review. While this is a significant step forward for psychology, it’s important to note that other allied health providers have not received similar increases.
