Team training session: deciding on the intervention

31st May 2014
The majority of young people that teams using AMBIT work with have more than one problem. The aim of this session is to focus on the interventions being offered by the AMBIT team in the context of other interventions by other agencies.

This works best if each group can have a laptop and be connected to the manual. We suggest dividing the team into 2-3 groups. It may be helpful for this session to have additional paper copies of the AIM for people to refer to as part of the exercise.

What is the problem? Divide into 2-3 small groups (20 minutes)

  1. Pick a young person known to the team.
  2. Do an AIM assessment (don't click the suggested interventions button, though!)
  3. PREDICT what interventions would be your team's priority:
    1. to address the ACUTE CRISIS here and now
    2. to address the longer term needs
  4. Now look at the Suggested Interventions from the AIM
    1. Check both the GLOBAL and FOCAL rankings...

What is the intervention plan? - in small groups (20 minutes))

  1. What is the current plan? How have we made this?
    1. young person's goals? (see the Active Planning Map as a tool to help map and negotiate these alongside Broadcasting Intentions by the worker/team)
    2. expertise in the team?
    3. focus on narrow range of domains?
    4. use of evidence as to what is likely to work?
  2. Should we do anything different?

What have we learnt? (whole group) (20 minutes)

  1. Review page in the manual How to draw up a Care Plan and make amendments to it so that it is consistent with your practice
