SUMMARY:Unpacking Resistance Training
DESCRIPTION:In-person\, Thursday 31 October 2024 \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\nREGISTER HERE \n

SUMMARY:Newborn Behavioural Observation (NBO) Live Online Workshop for Professionals Working with High-Risk Infants
DESCRIPTION:What is the NBO system? \nThe Newborn Behavioural Observations (NBO) system is a relationship building tool that fosters a positive parent-infant interactive relationship. A supportive\, nurturing relationship that is sensitive and responsive to the infant’s needs is a sign of parents’ successful adaptation to parenting and optimises their infant’s neurological and psychological development. \nIs this course for me? \nThis workshop is for professionals working with young infants age 0-3 months who may have a range of complex medical and surgical conditions\, including infants in NICU and SCBU\, and for professionals providing post-hospital care or developmental follow-up for families in the community. \nIt will appeal to Neonatal Nurses and Doctors\, Occupational Therapists\, Physiotherapists\, Speech & Language Therapists\, general practitioners\, (enhanced) maternal and child health nurses\, child and family health nurses\, mental health professionals and others working with high-risk infants and their families. \nHow is it similar and different to the standard NBO course? \nThis course incorporates the same curriculum\, theoretical content\, and certification process as our other NBO workshops. In addition\, the workshop will include particular considerations of implementing the NBO when working with high-risk infants and their families up to infant age of approximately 3 months (corrected for premature birth if relevant). \nThe case studies and videos will illustrate how the NBO can be implemented in practice to support babies and families where additional risks may challenge the infant’s abilities for self-regulation\, social interaction and/or the parent-infant relationship. \nParticipating professionals will be supported in reading and responding to infant regulatory-dysregulatory signals and providing and promoting neuro-protective\, nurturing care for vulnerable young infants\, through the video material and reflective small-group discussion. \nThis NBO Workshop will be a live online format presented across three part days: \n​Workshop Day One: Sunday 13 October 2024\, 1:30-5:30pm AEDT \nWorkshop Day Two: Monday 14 October 2024\, 12:30-5:30pm AEDT \nWorkshop Day Three: Tuesday 15 October 2024 12:30-5:30pm AEDT \nOptional Post: Monday 11 November 2024\, 5:00-6:00pm AEDT \n*Please note times are in Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time (AEDT) \nThis online workshop will be run by three NBO trainers with an emphasis on interactive exchange and hands-on practice. Presented Live Online via Zoom and NBO Learning Management System. \nPresented by: \nA.Prof Campbell Paul\, Royal Children’s Hospital & Royal Women’s Hospital\, Victoria\, Australia \nDr Susan Nicolson\, Royal Women’s Hospital\, Victoria\, Australia \nMs Danielle Atkins\, Occupational Therapist at Hawkes Bay District Health Board\, New Zealand \nBookings via Eventbrite:  https://nbo-australia.eventbrite.com  \nEarly Bird Ticket Price: $649 AUD (including GST). \nStandard Ticket Price: $792AUD (including GST).

SUMMARY:Violence against pets in the context of intimate partner violence: supporting victim-survivors
DESCRIPTION:  \nPresenters: Kylie Butler\, Jen Howard\, Monique Dam and Dr Jasmine B. MacDonald \nNearly 70% of Australian households include pets. For many of us\, these animals are family\, as much a part of our lives and equally loved as our human family members. \nWhile there is widespread awareness about the impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on women and children\, less is known about the links between violence against family animals and IPV. \nThere is evidence that violence against family animals can be an indicator of frequent and severe patterns of IPV. Some perpetrators threaten or harm family pets to manipulate\, punish or control their partner\, leveraging the emotional connection many people have with their pets. In these situations\, many victim-survivors will delay leaving\, stay with\, or return to perpetrators because they are scared for their pets’ safety. \nVictim-survivors of IPV who have family animals face unique challenges in seeking and accessing support. Although research suggests that human and animal victim-survivors recover and heal better when they can do so together\, this is often not possible – largely due to a lack of animal-inclusive support services and crisis accommodation. \nWithin the context of these systematic challenges\, this webinar will explore practical ways that practitioners working in child and family services can strengthen support for human and animal victim-survivors. \nThis webinar will help you: \n\nunderstand the relationship between violence against family animals and intimate partner violence and the effects of this violence on human and animal victim-survivors\n\n\nunderstand the emotional connection between people and family animals and the benefits of recovering and healing together\ndevelop insight into the unique challenges that victim-survivors of IPV who have family animals may experience when trying to access support and strengthen the way you support these individuals.\n\nThis webinar is intended for both general and specialist practitioners working in child and family services including general family support\, mental health care and health care\, family and relationship services\, social workers\, counsellors and psychologists. It will also be relevant to practitioners working in animal welfare or veterinary services.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Promoting Children's Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Context of Family and Domestic Violence
DESCRIPTION:The Centre\, in collaboration with No to Violence\, Safe and Equal\, and Sexual Assault Services Victoria are working on the Family Violence and Sexual Violence Knowledge Hub Project. The project aims to support children and families experiencing family violence and family violence service users. The project will strengthen practice\, identify data gaps and build an evidence base in this sector. As part of the collaboration project\, the Centre will be hosting a series three online events. \nInteractive online event with Emerging Minds \nFamily Violence & Sexual Violence Event (FV&SV) \nThis interactive online event\, the second of the series and facilitated by Emerging Minds\, will improve understanding of how family and domestic violence and abuse may be affecting children’s health\, development and wellbeing. \nPractitioners from specialist and non-specialist programs will likely come into contact with families who have been or are currently impacted by family and domestic violence and abuse. Therefore\, it’s crucial for professionals to have the skills and confidence to discuss with parents how such situations impact children’s health\, development\, and overall wellbeing. We know that children will be impacted by family and domestic violence even if they are not subjected to abuse or witness it directly. \nThis interactive presentation will support practitioners to: \n\nConsider the impact of family and domestic violence on children’s mental health and wellbeing\nUnderstand the importance of being child-aware and parent-sensitive\nExplore ways to talk and work with parents to support and improve their children’s mental health and wellbeing.\n\nThis online event will be particularly valuable to those designing and leading child and family programs and for passionate-change makers wanting to better embed children’s social and emotional wellbeing in their organisational advocacy and strategy. \nThe Family Violence & Sexual Violence Knowledge (FV&SV) Hub Project \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Supporting infants' and toddlers' resilience during daily transitions
DESCRIPTION:  \nPresenters: Dr Robyn Dolby\, Dr Belinda Friezer\, Claudius Reiman and Vicki Mansfield \nPartner: Emerging Minds \nDate & time: Wednesday 14 August 2024\, 1:00 – 2:00PM (AEST). Find your time zone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly childhood is a dynamic period of development and critical to a child’s long term social and emotional wellbeing. In their first five years\, children experience numerous transitions – some transitions are ‘big’\, and some are small\, some expected and some unexpected. Often in practice we discuss the big transitions\, but it’s the repeated small ones that create relationships and underpin the bond between parents/carers and the child. \nThe busyness of day-to-day life can sometimes make it challenging for parents/carers to be emotionally available and find opportunities to connect with their infant or toddler. This webinar will explore ways practitioners can support parents/carers and educators to experience the world through the child’s eyes. \nUsing a case study involving a childcare drop off\, this webinar will focus on how practitioners can support educators and parents/carers to be responsive and consistent with infants and toddlers during daily transitions to promote their confidence and sense of security. Panellists will discuss three transition processes\, including the rowboat metaphor\, the negotiated goodbye\, and preparing to launch. \nThis webinar will help you: \n\nidentify how infant and toddler behaviour is a form of communication\nunderstand how changes in everyday moments of caregiving can build infants’ and toddlers’ confidence and sense of security\npromote infants’ and toddlers’ sense of security\, resilience and confidence during everyday separations\, transitions and social interactions\nunderstand how interdisciplinary coordination between parents/carers\, early childhood educators and practitioners can promote infant and toddler social and emotional wellbeing.\n\nThis webinar will interest practitioners who work with infants\, toddlers and their families\, such as early childhood educators\, child and family services and parenting support\, allied health workers\, child and family nurses\, paediatricians\, infant mental health workers\, adult mental health workers and family domestic violence services. \nThis webinar is co-produced by CFCA at the Australian Institute of Family Studies 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 \n
