For people working with people

One-Day Seminar

 

People working with people are challenged with the reality dealing with family trauma such as family violence, sexual violations in homes and family murders. These are situations over which police officials, security providers and emergency personnel virtually have no control and that have a direct impact on their own lives.

…to find ways to improve communication when dealing with victims and colleagues. It will help them to find practical ways to motivate themselves and to deal with the issues in their own lives.

 

The objectives of the seminar are to:

·         Give a brief overview of the reality and impact of family trauma.

·         Look at communication problems when dealing with the victims of family trauma.

·         Make participants aware of practical skills to deal with their own financial challenges.

  • Create awareness for the value of effective self-care and self-motivation.

 

Papers will be presented on the following themes:

·         The reality of the impact of family violence on service providers
