Working with Families from Refugee Backgrounds

This 3-hour workshop has been developed to give participants a greater understanding of the impact of trauma and resettlement on family roles and relationships. The frameworks that guide family counselling and support will be explored in particular trauma recovery models, family therapy and culturally appropriate practice.
Throughout the session we will be discussing the key skills and competencies of family work including trauma recovery goals; safe points of intervention; reframing; and bringing new information into the family system.
This is an interactive workshop based on practice experience. There will be discussion of case examples, opportunities to find out how different organisations support families and a sharing of ideas about “best practice” in working with families from a refugee background.
