Supporting Vulnerability through Collaborative Practice Symposiums

As part of the Early Childhood Development Program in conjunction with Anglicare and North Central Victorian Family Service Alliance, a series of 3 Symposiums are planned for North Central Victoria for August 2022. These Symposiums are free but will require registration. The Symposium will be open for participation/attendance by all professionals working with children aged 0- 5 and will provide an amazing opportunity to hear from international Guest Speaker Lisa Cherry as well as other key local services supporting vulnerable families.

GUEST SPEAKER: Lisa Cherry. Lisa is the author of the hugely successful book 'Conversations that make a difference for Children and Young People'

Each of the three quest speaking events will relate to the previous, creating three learning opportunities for all attendees. This will allow a deeper addressing of issues presented and provide high quality opportunities for shared learning.
