Tailored to your needs…
With over ten years experience in outreach education for hospitals,
government departments, community health centres, schools, language
colleges and community based organisations, we recognise that agencies
work with torture and trauma survivors in a range of contexts. Our
training programmes are tailored to your unique organisational needs
using specially developed case studies and material which focuses
on the specific needs of your staff and client group.
STARTTS provides training that is responsive to the needs of participants
and is learner-centred. To ensure our training is most effective,
in conjunction with the workplace, we will survey staff as to their
needs, experiences and skills and design a training session that
draws on current experience and extends skills.
Flexibility and choice
Areas covered may include:
Introduction to working with refugees
- information about STARTTS services
- the phases of refugee experience
- difference between migrants and refugees
- demographics
- strategies in working with torture and trauma survivors
Introduction to clinical issues
- physical and psychological impact or torture and trauma on individuals,
families and communities

Educational issues

If staff have a working knowledge and understanding of refugee
issues they can benefit from more comprehensive training which we
are able to provide.
Our community education programmes can also be designed with particular
client groups or work settings in mind.
These can include:
- child and adolescent groups;
- women;
- family;
- unemployed;
- working in a medical setting.
Fees may apply for some courses.
