A lot of trust and care goes into co-designing, especially around such traumatic experiences like those that can happen with forced adoption. We hope these training modules can be one piece of a larger step towards helping those impacted and effected.
New Mini-Series & Training Launch: Shedding Light on Forced Adoption in Australia At PUR, we believe in the transformative power of storytelling. That’s why we’re are lunching our latest mini-series, which delves into the deeply personal and systemic challenges faced by individuals impacted by forced adoption practices in Australia. In partnership with Department of Social Services (DSS) and Portable, we have launched an online training product tailored for aged care and allied health professionals. By co-developing and co-producing the product, we ensure that the educational content resonates and sticks with the intended audience. Embedding narrative throughout the material makes complex topics like trauma and recovery approachable and relatable, fostering a better contextualised understanding and empathy. Building on the insights from this project, our mini-series aims to broaden its impact by raising general awareness about the plight of those who experienced forced adoption in Australia. Through heartfelt stories and systemic analysis, we highlight the enduring effects of these practices and emphasize the importance of compassionate support and informed care. A huge thank you to our incredible team at Portable, including Willhemina Wahlin (PhD), Tess Waterhouse, Beth J Hyland, and Adam Corcoran (now at NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation). We also extend our gratitude to our stellar Advisory Group: Nahum Mushin, Jigsaw Queensland Inc., Relationships Australia SA, Relationships Australia Tasmania, Relationships Australia WA, The Healing Foundation, and VANISH If you work with individuals impacted by forced adoption, this training offers valuable insights on providing support while avoiding the re-triggering of past traumas. 🔗 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gC6wmPpr
