Co-convened by colleagues at Bankstown Senior College and STARTTS (the NSW Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors), this new network is a state-wide network for discussions, sharing, and networking around the topic of how to best teach, support, and guide newly- and recently-arrived families who have experience of forced migration.
