The ALIVE National Centre is proud to present the next instalment of Ready, Set, Translate: The ALIVE Mental Health Research Virtual Café Translation Conversations, on Thursday 20 June 2024, 1pm - 2pm (AEST).
The conversation will be hosted by the Prevention Across the Life Course program, and will feature Johanna Lynch speaking on the topic Sense of Safety: A Shared Language for Healing-Oriented Care.
In 2021, Johanna wrote her doctoral research into a book entitled A whole person approach to wellbeing: building sense of safety (Routledge). In this session she will take us on a journey from her general practice roots to a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to care that highly values lived experience, meaning, sensation, relationships, culture, and a focus on movement towards healing.
