Customised organisational training seminars on trauma, child abuse and family violence

 

The Australian Childhood Foundation has continued to enhance its reputation for providing current, practical and high quality training programs to welfare, health and education organizations across Australia.

 

Our trainers can come to you, wherever in Australia you are located, to deliver a customized professional development program. We can support you in planning and organising a customised training program, including providing an information package for your use.

 

 

Content areas for these sessions might include:

 

  • The neurobiology of abuse related trauma, and its practical application in your work context.
  • The infant experience of trauma, incorporating a four stage intervention model.
  • Building creative and therapeutic strategies for abused and traumatized children and young people.
  • Residential care and foster care models of intervention situated in therapeutic trauma based frameworks.
  • Developing and implementing trauma assessment frameworks.
  • Understanding the specific impact of family violence on children and young people and their family context.
  • Linking loss and grief theory with trauma theory to fully integrate the experience of abuse related trauma.
  • Exploring the impact of working with traumatized children and their families on workers and the systems within which they practice.
  • Specific content that meets the broader needs of your staffing group.

All customized sessions are experiential, discussion based and enable your staff to explore the specific issues of their workplace and roles.

 

Organizations generally provide a venue and catering and minimal audio visual equipment.
