Workshop 1: Social Model 3.0
2026-05-28 09:30 - 12:30 (Europe/London) | MS Teams, https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/314522770906556?p=MHKZx0dy45b7EB6v1j
This opening workshop sets the foundation for the full CPD programme, revisiting the social model through a contemporary, integrated care lens. Moving beyond traditional binaries, Social Model 3.0 explores how rights-based practice, lived experience, neurodiversity, and co-production intersect within today’s complex mental health systems.
Participants will reflect on the evolving role of the mental health social worker within multidisciplinary and statutory contexts, reconnecting values to real-world practice pressures. The session introduces updated frameworks shaping current mental health policy and practice, creating a shared language for capability, ethical decision-making, and defensible social work throughout the programme.Designed to be reflective, accessible, and future-facing, this workshop provides a strong grounding for both newly qualified and experienced practitioners working in complex environments.
