The training explores the principles of culturally responsive practice, cultural humility, unconscious bias, and intersectionality and how to apply this to practice. The day will consist of a 3-hour training session from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm, followed by a lunch break. Then participants will be given the opportunity to visit the Good Samaritan Inn (GSI) refuge and Virginia’s Place supported accommodation and have a discussion with GSI and Safe Steps staff, finishing around 4:00 pm.
On completion of the training participants will have:
- Reflected on their own professional practice using culturally responsive principles, cultural humility and an intersectional approach.
- Discussed how cultural expectations, systemic barriers and discrimination may impact a migrant or refugee woman’s capacity to seek and sustain family violence service support.
- Applied the principles of culturally responsive practices when engaging with clients/families from migrant and refugee backgrounds experiencing multiple systemic barriers and discrimination.
