Perinatal Clinical Practice Guidelines & Companion Documents

This webinar combines practice and lived experience to explore how we as a sector can better identify and respond to child sexual abuse and support victims and survivors to heal and recover. It is intended to complement ‘Trauma prevention and early intervention approaches with children and young people’ which was broadcast in September 2025.

In this webinar with the Mental Health Professionals Network (MHPN), our multidisciplinary panel will explore and identify reasons that may underlie school attendance difficulties. This presentation will promote the value of partnership-based, trauma-informed strategies to support a contextualised understanding of each child’s unique needs in education settings.

This webinar is intended for organisational and systems leaders across the health, education, social and community services sectors, as well as practitioners with an interest in workforce development.

Our webinar with Child Family Community Australia (CFCA) focuses on the importance of trauma prevention and early intervention in facilitating the mental wellbeing of children and young people. Drawing on the expertise of Professor Daryl Higgins, a key researcher in the ACMS, and Shankari Sundaram, a counsellor at Rebuild - Relationships Australia South Australia, it also outlines strategies for practitioners, organisations and systems to use in the prevention and intervention of child maltreatment.
