Trauma-informed Career Practice: Session 1 (Oceania)
This is a two-part online workshop exploring the practice of trauma-informed care within career development intervention and the context within which services are provided. Working from a trauma-informed perspective does not require that career development practitioners be experts on trauma or that they intervene in relation to their students’ or clients’ trauma. Clients want career practitioners to attend to their career concerns. However, a general understanding of trauma and its impact on clients and their career-related behaviour strengthens practitioners’ ability to structure and pace intervention according to clients’ current needs.
Session 1 Covers:
- How trauma surfaces in various levels of career intervention, from dealing with online career-related applications to waiting in a reception area to working directly with career development practitioners to engaging with employers and other stakeholders.
- Establishing trauma-informed processes and service environments.
- Defining trauma-informed practice for career development practitioners. What does it look like and what can a practitioner change?
- Introduction to intentional skill use for trauma-informed career intervention.
Time: 9:00am – 10:00am AEDT
