Trauma Informed Practice

6 May

Led by Monica Lord—an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and founder of the Australian Centre for Hoarding, Squalor, and Clutter—this session will deepen your understanding of trauma and its impact on individuals and communities. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, Monica will provide practical tools to help you work safely, effectively, and ethically with people who have experienced trauma.

Who should attend: Case workers, support workers, coordinators, managers, volunteers, and frontline staff in the community services sector who work with individuals affected by trauma.

If we can’t offer training in house, we engage with external facilitators and experts to deliver and run our programs and training models. All of what we develop is designed to support case and support workers, coordinators, managers, volunteers, and frontline staff within the not-for-profit (NFP) sector.
