Program description

Australian Childhood Foundation (ACF) Trauma-informed mentoring will explore leadership and mentoring through a trauma-informed lens. The session takes participants through the story of leadership and the different role mentoring has in the early childhood space. This session supports the sustainability of trauma informed practice in the centre by providing support for leaders and mentors.

It will also provide an opportunity to reflect on both the mentor and mentee roles when working with families and children where there is/has been relational trauma.

This session is offered on different days and at different times to support educators to be able to attend.

Implementation considerations

  • Target population: early childhood professionals.
  • Training requirements: the workshop benefits early childhood professionals with minimal or no experience with trauma-informed practice, as well as those with more experience, who have the opportunity to enhance their knowledge.
  • Staffing: services should consider the cost of backfill when determining the cost of accessing this resource.
  • Factors to consider: consider how staff might share new practice knowledge with others at the service, and how improved approaches or innovative ideas could be implemented across the service. The workshop includes suggestions and ideas for sharing practice knowledge.
  • Australian experience: workshops are available across Victoria and have been developed to target early childhood educators working in the Victorian context.
