Trauma-informed, rights-based legal assistance training

Live Online Training

Better support clients experiencing trauma, poor mental health, or suicidality.
Improve how you deliver trauma-informed legal services with the With You eLearning and Live Online Training.

The With You Live Online Training offers knowledge, skills, and client scenarios to improve trauma-informed, rights-based legal practice.

Improve how you and your team works to:

• Realise impacts of trauma on staff and clients & understand paths for recovery
• Recognise early signs of trauma before distress becomes heightened
• Respond to trauma with appropriate supports & referrals
• Resist re-traumatisation with healthy coping & reducing traumatic stress

With You training is available with fully-funded places (no cost) to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services, Community Legal Centres, Family Violence Prevention Legal Services, and Legal Aid Commissions.
