These challenges can significantly impact treatment effectiveness and functional outcomes. This evidence-based, experiential workshop (e.g., role plays) focuses on identifying communication needs, understanding their impact on mental health, knowing when to refer for specialist assessment, and applying practical strategies to adapt communication and interventions in clinical practice. We recommend attending both this workshop and the workshop on “Recognising and adapting our practice for young people with co-occurring mental health and cognitive difficulties” scheduled on 2 June, 2026. Learning OutcomesBy the end of the workshop you will be able to:Explain the relationship between speech, language, communication needs and mental health difficulties Recognise typical development and identify signs of communication difficulties in young people aged 12–25 Integrate communication needs into clinical formulations Apply strategies and materials to adapt communication and interventions effectively NB: This workshop is designed to be interactive and experiential and will include activities such as role-plays and group discussions. In online workshops, we expect participants to have their camera on throughout, particularly when engaging in these activities.
