SUMMARY:Preventing emotional abuse of children: The role of parenting support
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Associate Professor Divna Haslam\, Associate Professor Alina Morawska and Rani Kumar \nDate & time: Wednesday 18 December 2024\, 1:00 – 2:00PM (AEDT). Find your time zone. \nPartner: NAPCAN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar\, produced in partnership with the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN)\, previously aired in 2023 as part of National Child Protection Week. It explores emotional abuse in childhood and the role of parenting support in reducing and preventing child maltreatment. \nIn the webinar\, Associate Professor Divna Haslam and Associate Professor Alina Morawska sat down with the then Deputy CEO of NAPCAN\, Rani Kumar\, to discuss findings from the Australian Child Maltreatment Study. The study found that approximately 35% of young people aged 16-24 years had previously experienced emotional abuse\, with the rate 1.5 times higher among girls than boys. \nEmotional abuse contributes to a range of physical\, social and psychological problems\, and despite its high prevalence\, this form of abuse is poorly understood compared to other forms of child maltreatment and is often overlooked in practice settings. \nEmotional abuse occurs at the hands of parents and primary caregivers and can overlap with other unhelpful forms of parenting. This makes the family environment key for the prevention of emotional abuse in childhood. Parenting programs have been shown to reduce risk factors and enhance protective factors associated with child maltreatment. \nThis webinar will help you: \n\nunderstand the nature\, prevalence and impact of emotional abuse in childhood\nidentify the family-related risk and protective factors associated with early adversity and child maltreatment\nconsider the role of parenting support in preventing and reducing emotional abuse in childhood\nstart conversations about emotional abuse with parents and children and assess the impact the abuse is having.\n\nThis webinar will interest practitioners working in child and family services\, child protection\, family law\, parenting and relationship services\, health and education. \nAs this is a re-broadcast there will be no live Q&A. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Responding to Children and Young People Impacted by Trauma - free workshop
DESCRIPTION:This is a free workshop presented by UMFC for all community members\, teachers and volunteers working with children and young people. \nThe workshop will cover the following topics- \nImpact of Trauma on Children and Young People’s Behaviours \nChildren and young people in our communities are often labelled as violent\, naughty\, intimidating\, bullying\, withdrawn\, or angry.

SUMMARY:Unpacking Resistance Training
DESCRIPTION:Online Event \nKey reasons many people choose to work in primary prevention are to build momentum and create change. We are passionate about mobilising people and community to transform power structures and attitudes that drive gender-based violence. \nHaving conversations and advocating for change with people we work with\, decision makers\, workshop participants\, parents and funders is critical to the success and momentum of change. We’re often inviting the exploration of new or challenging ideas through these conversations\, and people can often react to the topic of gender equality in different ways – from denying there is an issue\, to placating or de-prioritising the efforts for change. \nWho is this for?\nThis training is for practitioners who work in the area of gender equality or in primary prevention of family and gender-based violence.\nThe purpose of this training is to support practitioners delivering primary prevention work. This training does not focus on resistance from people using violence within early intervention or response practice contexts. \n\n\nWhat you’ll learn:\nHow to identify the different forms and levels of resistance.\nThe core principles and strategies to apply when responding to forms of resistance.\nSkills to open up dialogue and feel more confident in having challenging conversations.\nStrategies to support your wellbeing when encountering resistance.\n\n\n Register here

SUMMARY:Supporting families to navigate tough times: The impact of financial and housing insecurity\, isolation and discrimination
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Kerry Hawkins\, Zan Maeder\, Emi Artemis and Lydia Trowse \nPartner: Emerging Minds \nWith a steep rise in the cost of living\, a growing number of Australian families are having to navigate financial distress\, housing insecurity\, social isolation and discrimination. These factors have a significant impact on the mental health and wellbeing of children and families. Furthermore\, society still tends to blame ‘poor parenting’ or ‘poor decision-making’ rather than the broader social and contextual factors that are play. This dynamic can increase families’ shame and guilt\, and cause even more harm. \nSupporting families as they navigate these challenges can be complex. This webinar will introduce a new collection of resources from Emerging Minds that you can use in your work with children and families. These resources were produced in collaboration with families and practitioners and aim to amplify child and family voices. Importantly\, they outline not only the impact of social determinants of health inequalities on child and family wellbeing\, but also what other families with lived and living experience have found useful in navigating these challenges. \nThe panel will discuss why the project came about\, how it was developed\, what the resources are and how you can use them. \nThis webinar will help you: \n\nunderstand the impacts of social determinants of health inequalities on child and family health and wellbeing\, and the many ways families are responding to these impacts\nbetter support families impacted by social determinants of health inequalities\, including supporting them to reconnect with their existing knowledge\, skills and values\nreduce families’ experiences of isolation and stigma that can come from experiencing health inequalities\ngain insight into how you can gather and share ideas from the families you work with to support your practice.\n\nThis webinar will interest a range of practitioners in health\, social and community services who work with children and families who may be navigating multiple hardships including financial distress\, housing insecurity\, social isolation and discrimination. \nThis webinar is co-produced by CFCA and Emerging Minds in a series focusing on children’s mental health. They are working together as part of the Emerging Minds: National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health\, which is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care under the National Support for Child and Youth Mental Health Program. \nREGISTER HERE
