Art therapy Awareness Training
The art therapy awareness training is primarily to help professionals working in mental health to have a better understanding of what art therapy is and why we use it. This training is done with a maximum group size of 12 participants. It will be very interactive, including participants engaging in art therapy practices to better understand the potential impact of this therapy. This training is to help mental health professionals to feel better informed in knowing whom to refer to for art therapy sessions and some of the whys. The training usually takes one working day.

HHRI Mental Health and Gender Based Violence Training
The HHRI* Mental Health and Gender Based Violence Training is designed for mental health professionals working with survivors who have suffered trauma due to severe gender-based violence. It is designed particularly for those who have experienced sexual trauma during disasters, conflicts and emergency situations. The training is based on a working manual designed by the HHRI, and it uses the metaphor of the Butterfly Woman to equip helpers to explain clinical trauma in a simple and non-threatening way. This training is particularly suited for those working with refugees and asylum seekers.

Details of all services are discussed and agreed upon during a preliminary interview with the client or employer.
