AOD services already work with acute awareness of the impact of trauma; multi-cultural supervision deepens this understanding for people from refugee, newly arrived multi-faith and culturally diverse backgrounds and those impacted by war, torture and genocide. Multi-cultural supervision is a practical mechanism that contributes to cultural safety and experiences of inclusivity for people who access our services.
Consultant and clinical multi-cultural supervisor Yasmin Iese will take us through what it is, the way it works and how it compliments other reflective practices.
We will also hear from a worker perspective how time and space to reflect on our work from a multi-cultural point of view is essential in responding to changing and growing diversity of the Australian population.
