St Barnabas Counselling Centre and Sue Lambert are proud to be co-hosting:

People who seek asylum face unique struggles in pursuing safety, justice and belonging. Political and social reactions have often created isolation, fear and despair for refugees and asylum seekers. In response, Dr Ian Percy offers this practical and experiential training, covering principles and practices from Narrative Therapy. Together we will consider how we can respond to distress, develop a shared commitment to justice, and bring forth dignity, whatever the circumstances. The focus will be on assisting asylum seekers and refugees to speak about often unspoken experiences to enhance a valued sense of self and connect them to communities of safe belonging. This skills-based training will be facilitated through different teaching methods including guided exercises, demonstration interviews, roleplays, stories from therapy, and group discussions. Pre-training reading, workshop notes, and post-training articles will be provided. All profit from this training will be donated to support refugees and asylum seekers.
