Event Details
This half day workshop has been developed for volunteers and staff working with asylum seekers who are not trained as 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 learn some tips and skills to deal with these presentations.
