This online interactive workshop is for organisations and staff involved in Core and Cluster procurement and delivery.

Expand your knowledge and understanding of trauma informed practice to support implementation into new Core and Cluster refuges.

The focus will be on implementing a trauma informed approach to supporting women who have experienced domestic violence.

Participants will be given the opportunity to:

Reflect on current service provision and apply new practices within a trauma informed framework
Explore the link between traumatic stress and current survivor feelings and reactions.
Examine tools to assist clients to manage traumatic stress.
Discuss approaches to supporting domestic violence survivors to talk about the impact of traumatic stress in a trauma informed manner.
Explore survivor reactions to experiencing domestic violence and consider appropriate interventions within the boundary of the worker’s role.
