We will focus on client centred, feminist and narrative approaches practice in interpersonal, group and community work related to trauma, bereavement and crisis. You will apply, evaluate and reflect on use of a range of knowledge and skills relevant to effective communication and engagement, including communication across a range of mediums (face to face, phone, text, online). Diverse case studies will be critically analysed using an anti-oppressive/empowerment framework for practice. There are lecture, workshop and tutorial delivery modes that provide experiential learning in facilitated structured exercises. These opportunities help you to develop practice knowledge and skills and self-awareness so you are expected to actively participate in all learning activities.
