SUMMARY:La Trobe University - Infant and child-led therapeutic approaches following family violence
DESCRIPTION:The session will draw on the article The impact of using an infant and child-led therapeutic approach in providing in situ consultations and transferable learnings to key workers working with families identified as at risk: A retrospective Australian study by Wendy Bunston\, Maureen Long\, Margarita Frederico\, Samantha Ware and Ania O’Brien. Read the article here. \nIn this webinar\, the research team will present a case study illustrating the child-led therapeutic approach and reflect on the implications for practitioners and services working with families. The session will also consider how the model supports learning transfer to frontline workers and why child-centred\, relationship-based practice matters in everyday service contexts. \nCore practice message: You do not need to be a therapist to work therapeutically.\nFrontline workers can bring a powerful infant‑ and child‑led lens into everyday interactions by slowing down\, observing\, wondering\, and keeping the child’s perspective central—with or without a specialist present. \nAn infant‑ and child‑led approach complements (rather than replaces) safety\, case planning and statutory responsibilities. The approach: \n\nTreats infants and children as subjects with agency\, not just dependents.\nActively invites their presence into conversations—in the room and “in all participants’ minds”.\nUses behaviour\, play\, movement and emotion as communication.\nPositions children as powerful motivators for hope and change within families.\n\nFind out more and register

SUMMARY:The Lady Musgrave Trust 18th Annual Forum on Women and Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Together or Smarter Apart – Collaboration\, Competition and the Choices that Shape Our Sector \n\n\n\n\nFor the first time\, the Forum will run as a full day working session\, creating space to bring the sector together for deeper conversation\, practical learning and shared problem-solving across the system. This is not a traditional conference. It is a deliberate intervention. \nSolving homelessness requires more than individual effort. It demands connection\, trust and a willingness to work differently. The choices we make\, to collaborate or compete\, shape outcomes for families every day. \nBringing together government\, philanthropy\, community organisations and lived experience\, the forum will move beyond discussion into action. Led by Ingrid Burkett\, Co-Director of The Good Shift\, participants will unpack the tensions between collaboration and competition\, challenge assumptions and explore practical ways to shift the system. \nThis is a Forum for those ready to rethink how our sector operates and willing to leave with shared principles\, practical commitments and a clearer\, more connected way forward. \n Thursday\, 6 August 2026 | 9:00am – 4:00pm\n Room Three Sixty\, QUT Gardens Point Campus\, Brisbane – with morning sessions streamed online \nFind out more and register

SUMMARY:Her Mind Her Health Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Women are still being misdiagnosed\, dismissed\, overlooked or left to navigate care that doesn’t adequately account for hormones\, trauma\, neurodivergence\, caregiving pressures\, violence\, chronic stress\, social inequity and the realities of women’s lives. \nThis conference is about some of the most significant challenges facing mental health practice today. The evidence is growing\, and the conversations are changing.
