In-house training tailored to your needs
ASCA workshops for health workers and health care professionals – tailored to your needs!
ASCA is currently working on its schedule of workshops for 2010, and will include Creating New Possibilities workshops for adult survivors as well as education and training workshops for health care professionals and frontline workers.
Should your organisation be seeking training and/or professional development for working with adult survivors of child abuse ASCA workshops are now available in-house on request. These workshops can be tailored to your needs.
Workshops cover topics such as:
- Understanding abuse and its impacts
- Coping strategies and defence mechanisms used by survivors of child abuse
- Common impacts of child abuse
- Pathways through which adult health can be compromised
- Treatment models and best practice guidelines for working with adults surviving child abuse
- Reflective practice and vicarious traumatisation
- Application exercises
While workshops are generally one day in duration, 2-day as well as half day workshops can be arranged.
ASCA’s professional workshop program recognises that working with adults surviving child abuse is challenging and requires specialised training. Knowledge about the biological and interpersonal consequences of childhood trauma has exploded over the past two decades. These in-house workshops incorporate this information while providing best practice guidelines for working with adults surviving child abuse.
An ASCA in-house workshop provides many benefits as your team can request the topics which interest you and use the time to focus on the issues pertinent to your clients and practice. Thus bringing greater clarity to better meets your needs.
The following quotes come from a number of workshops presented in 2009 to Lifeline phone counsellors as well as a diverse group of frontline workers.
Excellent presentation, knowledge given in a professional, collaborative and engaging way
Researched current approach to survivors, provided lots of theoretical information which was then made relevant with clear examples
The session was very informative and appropriate for what we do at the helpline, Thanks.
This is a necessary gap in training for professionals. Thank you.
I enjoyed the training and have learnt new skills I will apply in my work.
Loved the explanation of what happens in the brain and how it impacts on the survivors
