About this training
AMBIT (Adaptive Mentalization Based Integrative Treatment) is a mentalization-based approach for teams and systems working with people who have multiple needs. AMBIT is used by teams who work in contexts characterised by complexity, high stress and risk, and who work with people of any age who may have reasons to find it difficult to trust in helping services.
AMBIT consists of principles and practices that apply mentalizing to:
direct work with clients
how we function and support one another in teams
how we integrate and make sense of complex helping networks
how teams and systems can maintain a culture of learning and adaptation.
It is used in UK and around the world by teams working in a range of health, social care, justice, education, and community settings.
Training packages: local facilitator trainings
AMBIT training is available in different packages, which are tailored to suit the unique needs of services and participants. Whilst there is variation between these packages in terms of areas of focus and emphasis, the core content of AMBIT is covered within each. Within each training package, participants are supported to consider how to apply and sustain learning within their team and service following the training; and how to effectively adapt AMBIT ideas and principles to the specific context the team is working within.
Our Local Facilitator Training (LFT) package involves delivery of the core AMBIT content, with additional emphasis placed upon how participants may then facilitate their own AMBIT training within their own team, with supervision from Anna Freud. This package is valuable for organisations wishing to expand AMBIT training within their wider workforce.
Participants are supported to develop the confidence and competence to take AMBIT back to their own service and deliver this training in a way which is best adapted to suit the local service context. We find that this works best when 2 - 3 local facilitators attend from each team.
LFT training is delivered over 5 days, and participants may join this alongside other international or UK participants, or alternatively this can be delivered on a commissioned basis.
