Working with a Correctional Cohort: Applying Trauma-Informed Practice and Managing Challenging Behaviours
Applying trauma-informed practice is integral when working with a vulnerable cohort, particularly in understanding when challenges arise in an individual’s behaviour.
It can assist in understanding where someone has come from or what have they experienced that may have influenced their attitudes, behaviours and actions. Trauma-informed practice allows for workers to engage with clients with trust, openness and respect and assists with managing any challenges that may arise during the process.
About the presenters
Samantha Winnick, Taylor Morris and Luke McCord deliver the LINCS program at Relationships Australia Victoria. It is an educational workshop specifically designed for offenders who are subject to a Community Correction Order and is funded through Corrections Victoria.
LINCS workshops are designed to improve participants’ capabilities and strengths, using skills-based activities that also identify strategies and supports that are relevant to each module. The activities also highlight the importance of the participants’ internal and external capacity in terms of their social supports, employment opportunities and access to education.
This course counts towards 3 hours of category A CPD.
