New CPA Training Resources

Download Trainer's Manual

Downlaod Trainee's ManualDepartment of Health has funded CCAWI at the University of Lincoln, in partnership with the Care Programme Approach Association (CPAA), The Mental Health Foundation and Linking Voices, to produce a learning resource to support mental health care co-ordinators. The resource is free and consists of a trainer’s manual, a trainee’s manual, PowerPoint presentations, a DVD and a work based assessment scheme. The package will support the delivery of flexible, localised, multi-disciplinary training programmes to support and update care co-ordinators on the refocused CPA policy.

The programme has been piloted and reviewed by mental health workers, service users and carers. A distinctive feature is a collection of narratives from service users, carers and mental health professionals who talk about their experiences in relation to CPA. These clips are integrated throughout the training package.

The next stage of the project will include an online training needs analysis, an online CPA awareness guided study programme (for those who need to know about CPA but who will not be care co-ordinators) and a series of regional stakeholder conferences throughout England to introduce the resource and to assist with local planning and implementation.
