|
Working with Young Refugees
|
Training focuses on the resettlement experiences of young refugees. Includes skill development in understanding the refugee experience within the context of the social, economic and psychological milieu that young refugees find themselves in during resettlement. Training provides workers with a deeper understanding of the issues affecting refugee young people and the skills needed to work with this group of young people and their families.
|
Developing a culturally responsive organisation
|
Training raises awareness and an understanding of cultural diversity to shape work practice that is congruent with the circumstances and needs of young people and their families. The training provides frameworks based on good practice principles and strategies. Participants engage in developing their own organisation’s capacity to implement and model good practice.
|
Intergenerational Conflict
|
Training focuses on the changing and often challenging relationship between young people and families as they settle as individuals and as a family unit. Participants will explore theories of acculturation, how young people and families navigate settlement differently, and where they share experience. The training will explore issues of identity and belonging, shifting family member relationship and roles, and provide practical strategies for dealing with family conflict in a culturally sensitive and family focussed way.
