"Kym's knowledge was outstanding & her presentation style is very engaging. The practice models and scenario's were realistic which allowed the information to stick. I can certainly see how I will be able to apply these my work in housing and as a foster-carer" Housing Worker Mission Australia

"I've done lots of trauma training before, but this was next level. The way this was delivered made very complex concepts simple and make sense, and the role plays - though confronting -really highlighted how we can put the knowledge into practice. Also, who would have thought you could laugh during Trauma training, but I did. Highly recommend". Homelessness Outreach worker
