Who is the Forum For?

Caregivers, teachers, practitioners, support workers and interested parties who are interested in a deep exploration of:

• What is ‘post-traumatic growth’?
• How does the science of wellbeing and trauma-informed practice understand and think about post-traumatic growth?
• COVID-19 and post-traumatic growth
• How do we activate post-traumatic growth outcomes for ourselves and the children, young people and adults we support?

Participants will also have an opportunity to hear about the work of LBI Foundation and where we are heading in 2021.

Keynote Speaker: Ms Gabrielle Kelly

Gabrielle Kelly is an inspirational South Australian woman who was the Inaugural Director of SAHMRI Wellbeing and Resilience Centre. In 2019, Gabrielle inspired LBI Forum participants with her provocative and passionate understanding of wellbeing and resilience. We have invited her back in 2020 following overwhelming positive feedback, and that her journey in 2020 has involved her overcoming significant health challenges. She offers a conversation that is not to be missed.

Why this Topic?

LBI Foundation equips, trains and empowers schools, agencies, regions and teams to support vulnerable children, young people and adults in a trauma-responsive manner (click here for 'what is trauma-responsive practice?').

This approach provides an intentional and scientifically-grounded method to support clients with trauma-backgrounds to thrive and achieve post-traumatic growth outcomes. Thus, post-traumatic growth is at the heart of everything we do.
