We deliver a range of comprehensive training programs for: foster carers, relative carers, family group home carers, residential care workers, child care workers, social workers, psychologists, teachers, youth workers, juvenile justice officers, prison officers, counsellors, health professionals etc. who work with children, youth, adults and families who have experienced complex trauma.

We provide learning and development consultation to a variety of WA, NT, SA and NSW Government Departments and Non-Government Organisations.

Our goal is to develop a 'trauma-informed' Social and Community Services (SACS) sector in WA and across Australia. We want to teach workers and carers strategies that support children, youth, adults & families to heal from their traumatic experiences so we can help to break the cycle of intergenerational violence and poor parenting.
