Join your colleagues and peers as we return to live COVID-safe workshops,

with TWO of our most popular facilitators:

Mary Jo McVeigh and Angharad Candlin!

Mary Jo McVeigh OAM BSSc (Hons), MSW, PhD candidate CEO and Founder Cara House

Angharad Candlin Psychologist Catholic Care Practice Manager 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
