A communication first aid kit: resources in practice
This is a recording of the NMAHP webinar held on 8th May 2025 and was part of an exciting resource development project by the Scottish Clinical Excellence Network (CEN) of Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, (CAMHS). The Scottish SLT CEN has developed these robust resources that support access to treatment and reduce any communication barriers: ‘Communication First Aid Kit’.
This toolkit has uses beyond CAMHS settings and may be adopted by a range of practitioners such as school nurses, education and other health and social care staff.
