Trauma-informed care (TIC): Supporting survivors with soft skills

We'll take a deeper dive into understanding how trauma affects survivors and how you can respond effectively. Learn trauma-informed care principles, including hands-on techniques like grounding exercises and language sensitivity. You'll come away equipped to provide meaningful support and create a foundation of trust with survivors.

System skills: Navigating the referral process & preventing revictimisation

As first responders, you play a vital role in the support system for GBV survivors. This session will give you insight into how to navigate the referral process without causing further harm. We’ll discuss preventing revictimisation, understanding the multidisciplinary approach, and identifying ways your union can work with local authorities and other institutions to improve systems of support.

The power of intersectionality in GBV

Learn how different factors like immigration status, disability, and health conditions can create barriers for survivors. We’ll explore how to apply an intersectional lens to better understand these challenges and offer the right support. Through case studies and discussions, you'll gain new perspectives on how to strengthen your work in advocating for survivors’ rights.
