Trauma Informed Care & Practice: Meeting the Challenge Conference Sydney 2011
A landmark conference was held in Sydney at the Four Points by Sheraton in Sydney on 23-24 June. Over 240 people attended on both days. The conference was targeted at consumers, carers and people who work in mental health and human services sectors including public, private and community managed agencies such as drug and alcohol, primary and allied health, counselling, refugee and therapeutic support services, sexual assault and child protection, disability, Indigenous, culturally, linguistically and ethnically diverse organisations as well as law, justice, education and research. Not only did attendees reflect this diversity, but people attended from every state in Australia.
The conference was part of an ongoing broader initiative towards a national agenda to promote the philosophy of trauma informed care to be integrated into practice across service systems throughout Australia. This is an initiative of the Mental Health Coordinating Council (MHCC) and its collaborating partners, ASCA (Adults Surviving Child Abuse) and ECAV (Education Centre against Violence).
