A workshop for professionals responding to children and young people affected by family violence.
Safe & Secure training is for professionals in the eastern metropolitan region who work with children, young people and families who have experienced family violence. It enables workers to:
– Explore a framework for trauma-informed practice when working with children and families affected by family violence
– Develop an understanding of the impact of family violence-related trauma on children
– Consider the application of a model of practice that can support recovery in children
– Understand intervention within the context of a child’s culture and community
The Eastern Regional Family Violence Partnership (RFVP) identified, commissioned and funded the development of a trauma-informed practice guide for understanding and responding to children and young people affected by family violence. The Australian Childhood Foundation has written and developed the guide and training.
