Fearless Towards Success
Co-designing is often difficult due to the power imbalances, limited resources and cultural differences that can hinder genuine collaboration. Building trust and meaningful partnerships with diverse stakeholders requires time and sustained commitment, often constrained by competing priorities and funding.
Delegates of this interactive workshop will gain the tools and knowledge to begin the journey towards their own co-designed frameworks.

Implementing trauma informed practices in child protection is challenging due to the complexity of trauma and its effects. There may also be a lack of awareness among professionals regarding principles and approaches to trauma-informed care.
This workshop will equip delegates with practical tools and strategies to develop and implement trauma-informed practices within their own organisations.

Restorative practices help to combat youth crime and recidivism by developing comprehensive support systems within communities.
This collaborative approach engages diverse stakeholders – youth, schools, government agencies, police, community organisations, local business and support services – to provide tailored strategies for reconciliation and rehabilitation.
This practical workshop will demonstrate some of the evidence-based methods for facilitating participant collaboration and building community relationships that are outlined in David and Alikki’s recent book Setting Relations Right in Restorative Practice.
The workshop will benefit people working in government agencies, police and legal services, schools, and community services.

Indigenous and community organisations encounter obstacles in accessing funding, grappling with intricate and expensive application processes. Compounded by limited resources, the shortage of manpower for reporting and grant applications perpetuates this systemic issue. Though finances aren’t the root cause of youth justice challenges, they are pivotal in furnishing essential support and improving outcomes for young people, communities and families.
This practical workshop will provide participants with the expertise to streamline grant writing processes, thus minimising the manpower required for applications. It will illustrate effective methods for reporting progress and organisational impact, enhancing the likelihood of funding renewals. Through skill development, the workshop offers pragmatic solutions to the hurdles faced in accessing and applying for funds, facilitating greater efficiency and effectiveness in resource allocation.
