2026 Webinar Programme

At Care in Mind we are delighted to be launching a series of Lunch & Learn webinars throughout 2026.

Throughout the year, we’ll deliver three thematic mini-series, each designed to connect professionals, share expertise, and create space for learning and collaboration. These sessions will be free to attend and open to professionals from a wide range of backgrounds across health and social care, including clinicians, managers, social workers, commissioners and education partners.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your knowledge, connect with peers, or explore new ideas, these webinars are an opportunity to learn, share, and collaborate; we hope you’ll be able to join us!

Series 1: Trauma-Informed Complexity

This three‑part Lunch & Learn series is designed for professionals working with young people whose needs challenge traditional service boundaries. These sessions combine practical insight with reflective discussion, helping practitioners navigate the realities of trauma, neurodivergence, risk, identity, and system pressures in complex care.

Across the series, we’ll move beyond theory to explore what trauma-informed practice really looks like in everyday clinical and social care environments equipping you with frameworks, language, and perspectives you can apply immediately in your work.

Episode 1: Therapeutic Risk Management and Trauma-Informed Practice | Wed 18th March 2026 | 12pm – 1pm

This session explores the essential relationship between therapeutic risk management and trauma-informed care. We’ll examine the benefits, barriers, and scrutiny that come with managing risk therapeutically, and ask the critical question: Can care truly be trauma-informed if it’s focus is on avoiding danger and harm? Drawing on young people’s perspectives and real-world practice, this session invites reflection on how risk can be held safely, ethically, and meaningfully in complex care settings.Episode 2: Beyond the Label: Diagnostic Overlaps in Complex Care | Wed 25th March 2026 | 12pm – 1pm

This session explores the diagnostic complexity often seen in young people with overlapping presentations of trauma, neurodivergence, personality disorder, and developmental factors. Through a person-centred lens, we’ll consider how to move beyond labels to understand the individual to improve their experiences of care across services.Episode 3: Intersectionality in Complex Care | Wed 1st April 2026 | 12pm – 1pm

This session explores how overlapping social identities such as race, gender, neurodivergence, and socioeconomic status interact with complex mental health needs to shape young people’s experiences of care. We’ll examine how these compounding vulnerabilities can lead to exclusion, misdiagnosis, or systemic disadvantage, and discuss how professionals can respond with greater awareness, equity, and sensitivity.

Using case studies and lived experience, the session will invite reflection on how multi-agency systems can better recognise and address intersectionality in complex care environments.
