SUMMARY:Trauma Aware\, Healing Informed Care for Forgotten Australians and Care Leavers (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Free training webinars are available for aged care staff on Trauma Aware\, Healing Informed Aged Care for Forgotten Australians and Care Leavers. With the Strengthened Standards and new legislative requirements to provide trauma aware\, healing informed aged care\, this work is more important than ever. The Real Care the Second Time Around Project worked alongside people who identify as Forgotten Australians or Care Leavers to co-design the training and resources. \nReal Care the Second Time Around Project\nThis webinar is part of the Real Care the Second Time Around project\, designed to support aged care providers to provide trauma aware services for care leavers\, and to give Care Leavers practical information about the questions they can ask and what to expect in aged care. The resources and training are free and are available at www.realcaretoolkit.com.au. The training and resources will assist any provider wishing to apply for specialisation under the Verification Framework. The Real Care the Second Time Around Project has been developed by Helping Hand Aged Care\, Relationships Australia South Australia and Flinders University. \nForgotten Australians and Care Leavers*\nForgotten Australians and Care Leavers refers to the 500\,000 children that were placed into institutional and out-of-home care in Australia in the last century. Of this group\, 7\,000 were former child migrants\, 50\,000 were indigenous children from the Stolen Generations and over 440\,000 were non-indigenous children.  Forgotten Australians and Care Leavers often face barriers to accessing aged care and the idea of requiring care as they age can be deeply retraumatising as their experiences as children in care were often traumatic.\n*We respect that not everyone will identify with the terminology ‘Forgotten Australians’. \nAudience: The training is suitable for everyone working in aged care. While there is a focus on residential care\, the learnings also apply to home care. \nCost: Free to attend \nAny questions\, please contact clewis@helpinghand.org.au \nMultiple Dates: Each of the following webinars are the same – you only need to attend once. \nWednesday 20 August 2025\, 1:00pm to 2:30pm Sydney time (here)\nWednedsay 17 September 2025\, 1:00pm to 2:30pm Sydney time (here)\nFriday 15 October 2025\, 2:00pm to 3:30pm Sydney time (here)\nWednesday 26 November 2025\, 2:00pm to 3:30pm Sydney time (here)\nWednesday 10 December 2025\, 2:00pm to 3:30pm Sydney time (here)
