One observed impact reported by HSABC webinar attendees (as well as noted in various media reports) has been the notable rise of conspiracy theories and paranoia- and that these beliefs are negatively impacting care.   Dr Heather Fulton talks about how to help people experiencing paranoia, psychosis or other mental health issues that make it difficult for them to trust service providers - as well as providing a psychological background for why these issues occur.  This webinar will focus on practical suggestions for how to manage these complex and difficult situations.

Agenda

1. Defining and understanding trust issues – including paranoia and the role of conspiracy.
   2. How can we overcome trust barriers and what are our options to help differently?
