Trauma Informed Network – LONDON – on Collaboration

 

Date Tues 01 Mar 22

Timing 2 – 4.30pm (Registration 1.30pm)

Venue Conway Hall, Holborn

Topic Collaboration

Speakers

Natalie Creary, Director, BlackThrive

Joe Doran, Action Inquiry Manager, Lankelly Chase

Collaboration is one of the five core values underpinning a trauma-informed approach. But how do we truly collaborate with those we work with? How exactly do we release the power and control that we can find ourselves holding onto?

Joe will share Lankelly Chase Foundation’s unique approach to collaboration – the thinking behind it and how it works in reality. Joe will discuss the challenges he finds to true collaboration (and possible solutions).

Natalie will share their approach and learning about collaboration – both from collaborating with Lankelly Chase, and from BlackThrive’s collaborative approach with the people who use their service. Natalie will discuss the key benefits to a good collaboration – together with what a bad collaboration can look like!

Join us in this safe space to share your collaboration experiences and hopefully be inspired to build your own approach to collaboration

Immersive Bereavement Workshops

Are you a Counsellor, Therapist, Community Worker or someone who works with or supports people from Black and racially minoritised communities experiencing grief, bereavement, and loss?

Join us for our series of Immersive Bereavement workshops and acquire a greater understanding of diversity in the context of grief, loss and bereavement.

This series of workshops will take place in religious institutions/cultural spaces of relevant communities. Each session will include an address from an appropriate person from said community to share their knowledge on end of life and grief as it is practiced in that community as well as other methods of immersive and experiential learning.

We hope that participants on the training will be upskilled with a focus on providing interventions that are culturally relevant as it is based on an immersive sharing, questioning, and learning approach.

To adhere to social distancing guidelines, we are keeping attendees to a small group of no more than 15.

Each session will be an immersive in-person session using creative activities and engagement over a period of 4 hours 30 mins long from 10.00 am to 2.30 pm (with a lunch break). 

Hosted by The Ubele Initiative, Majonzi Fund and Thrive London.
