Understand the systemic and relational context to adolescent family violence and explore trauma-informed interventions

Under the initiative, Bouverie is delivering 5 training packages at no cost for professionals working in a publicly funded, Victorian based CAMHS/CYMHS* service. (*CAMHS: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service; CYMHS: Child and Youth Mental Health Service.)
