Other training and professional development
When opportunities arise we offer collaborative workshops with other relevant organisations. In 2020, we presented three webinars as part of Daniel Morcombe Foundation's Changing Futures program. The webinars we presented include Identifying and Responding to Harmful Sexual Behaviour, Safety Planning with Harmful Sexual Behaviours, and Dealing with Disclosures of Abuse.
We have a vast and varied range of experiences among our professional training team members. In 2020 we were proud to have one of our facilitators deliver a TED talk on listening to your body's signals.
