RegisterKeeping your learning affordable
Australian Childhood Foundation is committed to making training about childhood trauma accessible to as many people in our field as possible.
We believe that the more knowledge about trauma we share, the more effective we are as practitioners to supporting children, young people, and adults who are affected by violence, abuse, and neglect. We have kept prices affordable again to make our 2022 Conference as easy as possible for join us to reflect, learn and network.
Any surplus is used to directly support our therapeutic work with traumatised children and young people around Australia.
