Trauma-Informed Incidental Counselling with Survivors of Refugee Related Torture & Trauma

This online training has been developed for teachers, volunteers and others who work with people from refugee backgrounds who are not trained as professional counsellors. It provides some basic tips and strategies to deal with disclosures of refugee related torture and trauma, and how to manage difficult behaviours in this client group.

Participants will gain an understanding of the different reactions that clients may exhibit due to trauma and the resettlement experience and how to manage their own reactions to client presentations. This is an interactive online training which includes, information, video examples and a downloadable workbook containing questions to reflect on. 

This training is relevant for people working in a range of non-clinical settings such as case work, community development, bicultural support, youth work, advocacy and teaching.

Pre-requisite for all Workshops

It is a prerequisite that all participants attending our PD Training Calendar Workshops have completed the Online Introduction to the Refugee and Settlement Experience – The Impact of Trauma workshop. The content of QPASTT workshops are based on the experiences of people from refugee backgrounds and the impacts of torture and trauma, therefore it is essential that all participants have a basic understanding prior to attending other QPASTT workshops. QPASTT will have an ongoing register of who has completed the introductory online training.

If you have extensive knowledge and experience working in this field, please contact the Training Coordinators at Qpastt_Training@qpastt.org.au.
