Newly held courses

Newly held courses offered by CVP include:

• Risk assessment for psychologists and consulting doctors working within the National Board of Institutional Care. In this course, the participants are trained to assess and communicate risk of violence in antisocial youth. The course was first held in 2003 and the next occasion will be held during the autumn of 2004. With start in 2004 this course will also be held with case managers from the Social Services.
  
• Forensic risk assessment for officers and decision-makers in the prison and probation service ('HB course'). This course, in collaboration with the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, has now been held a total of four times. For this course, CVP has also developed a decision tool known as BERIT for the prison and probation service.
  
• Forensic risk assessment for psychologists and doctors in the prison and probation service ('Expert course'). We still regularly hold so-called KVIDA days (skills maintenance follow-up days) in this area. These have been held since the spring of 2002.
  
• CVP has also collaborated on training with the county councils of Östergötland and Dalarna and the Sävik AB treatment centre, and has collaborative projects with Stockholm University and Mälardalen University.
