Trauma-informed Law Conference, 2025

In Australia, we continue to put extensive emphasis on the use of the biomedical model to understand and treat mental health conditions, with a heavy reliance upon restrictive and re-traumatising practices such as restraint, seclusion and enforced medications as go-to treatments. This is even though trauma-informed practices contribute positively and significantly to the mental health of individuals, families, and carers, by fostering environments that prioritise safety, trust, empowerment and cultural sensitivity.  

 The conference includes an AUSLAN Interpreter and Closed Captions on the Live Stream.
