Child Protection in the Context of Refugee Trauma and Resettlement
This half day workshop aims to put a framework of understanding around the complexity of experiences and challenges that children and families from refugee backgrounds face in the context of torture, refugee trauma and resettlement. It explores the nuances of the intersection of these factors with culture and cultural transition in the new society, and how to sensitively assess the risks and need for child protection interventions. There will be a strong focus on working with children and families using refugee trauma informed and culturally safe practices.
