Session content

This training will explore Noongar cultural perspectives, historical context, culturally appropriate communication, and practical strategies for embedding culturally responsive and trauma-informed approaches into everyday practice

Who is the training for?

This training is for staff working directly with women and children in crisis. Understanding culture is not an optional addition to service delivery, it is fundamental to ensuring safety, trust, dignity and effective support.

Noongar women and children who engage with crisis services often carry complex experiences shaped by intergenerational trauma, systemic disadvantage, and ongoing impacts of colonisation.

When staff are equipped with cultural knowledge and awareness, they are better positioned to:

• Provide culturally safe and respectful responses

• Build trust and meaningful engagement

• Reduce the risk of re-traumatisation

• Strengthen outcomes for families

• Uphold accountability to community

Spaces are limited (max 3x attendees per organisation)

To register for a session, please contact Nicole: nicole@sacorp.com.au by COB Monday 16th March.
