Parent Education

Engage in a critical  reflexive discussion of bio-medical model of human suffering in relation to children and young people and   the bio-political world of trauma intervention. Using a child rights model you will problematise the epistemic silencing of children and young people and look to a liberation model of intervention.

Explore the neurobiology of trauma and learn practical skills to work with clients who have a trauma history.  Participants will have an opportunity to understand what can get in the way of working effectively with children and adults who have a trauma history and how they can work effectively with the system around these families such as Community Organisations and Schools.

 Participate in our interactive Q&A session, meet our Aboriginal Workforce Development Coordinator, gain an understanding of  creating an ‘outcome-focussed workplace culture’ and catch up with colleagues and peers from across our district.

  Special Guest: Claudia Vianello,
Director Commissioning & Planning DCJ, WSNBM

Acknowledgement

LEAD acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land we gather and work on, and the land that you are on while visiting our website. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the cultures and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation. A better understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures develops an enriched appreciation for Australia’s cultural heritage and can lead to reconciliation. This is essential to the maturity of Australia as a nation and fundamental to the development of an Australian identity. Understanding and respect are guiding principles of LEAD’s Reconciliation Action Plan.
