    ABOUT THIS COURSE

    Bringing Neurobiology to Life in Your Clinical Practice

    Neurobiology explores the processes that occur within the brain, body and mind, which influence a person’s development, mental health, behaviour and well-being.

    This 12 hour online course provides a practical exploration of these processes. Real-world examples and storytelling are woven throughout to make the content memorable and meaningful. No prerequisite knowledge of neurobiology is required to participate in this course.

    The knowledge gained in this course will transform the way you approach your work, and provide the springboard to launch your clinical reasoning and decision-making to a new level.

    Online course starts MAY 13 in N. America / MAY 14 in Australia/Asia.

    Course inclusions:

  • 12 hours of online learning presented by Kim Barthel
  • Attend live sessions and watch recordings
  • 4 half days (8 x 90 minute sessions)
  • Study at your own pace.
  • Materials and session recordings will be accessible to each participant for 90 days.

    • Why this course is unique?

    This 12 hour (8 x 90 minute modules) learning journey through the brain, body and mind, will offer a rich understanding of how brain and body circuitry operates as an integrated network. We’ll explore how this contributes to a person’s sense of identity, well-being and their relationship to others and the world.

    Treatment models are based on brain-body science. Through exploring the neurobiological foundations that contribute to a person’s health and well-being, we can make decisions about what treatment model may be the most suitable, and meet people at their level.  It will help us to determine how to do what we do, and when.

    Learning Objectives

    Visit our course page for topics and learning objectives.

     No prerequisite knowledge of neurobiology is required to participate in this course.

    All modules will provide clinical examples about how to apply this new learning to clinical reasoning and practice

    Instructor

    Kim Barthel

    Hi, I’m Kim – I’m humbled by your interest in what I’m up to, and inspired by the work that countless people are doing to support others – and yourselves. If this kind of thing were easy, it would be a different world we live in. Which tells me we need to nurture our relationships through attunement, compassion, humour, and mindfulness. Remember, when it works it’s treatment, and when it doesn’t it’s assessment. This means we aren’t expected to get it right the first time. I’ve been doing my best at this for over 35 years, and still learning and repairing every day. For anyone who doesn’t know what I especially like to study and teach, the hot topics that I wake up thinking about are understanding complex behaviour, neurobiology, sensory-processing, movement, trauma informed practice, attachment theory, mental health, and anything that will support people in being their best selves. Thank you for being part of the great momentum globally towards understanding, interdependence, and compassion. Please connect with our team at Relationship Matters if that’s an interest for you, and importantly, thank you for doing whatever it is that you do to help others. We may never know the fruit of the seeds we plant through our smallest gestures, but just by caring we are more connected than we know. I feel great hope.
