Encompass Family & Community – Repairing Broken Threads: Reconnection and reunification practice

Online workshop across two sessions, on best practice in family reunification

Encompass Family & Community presents Repairing Broken Threads: Reconnection and reunification practice

Work to reconnect or reunify children, young people and their families is complex, sensitive, challenging and rewarding. It must be done well. We know that most children and young people living away from their families will return home – at some point, in some way. Even for those who cannot ‘go home’, research suggests there are benefits in family connection. The craft of this work lies in how to determine the optimal level and nature of this connection for individual children and young people. If you are interested in exploring this area of practice with a view to clarifying and consolidating your understanding, skills and approach, this is the workshop for you. Contemporary thinking and research inform activities designed to develop your knowledge and skills in: assessing safety; planning effective support and intervention; and collaborative work with children, young people, their families and carers in this emotive and critical work.

Date: Tuesday, 15th to Wednesday, 16th October – 9.30am to 12.30pm

Venue: Online via Zoom

Cost: $318.18 per person
