Robes & Rosé | July Edition - Trauma Informed Practice with Robert Benjamin AM KC
Description
Robes & Rosé, proudly hosted by Mills Oakley presents the Hon. Robert Benjamin AM KC and Michelle Benjamin - Trauma Informed Education Specialist on Trauma Informed Practice.
Trauma is not just a background factor in Legal Practice and other allied fields - Mediators, Barristers, Psychologists and so on, particularly in the area of Family Law, it is often central to the client experience.
Join us for an evening of deeper understanding with a Trauma-Informed Practice, its principles and strategies to implement them in your dealings with all clients - victims, survivors or perpetrators.
As with any Robes & Rosé event, there will be networking, there will be food, and there will be wine. Come, Learn & Enjoy.
With all love and sincerity,
Robes & Rosé
