In 2017 NCNS experienced significant growth with the addition of many new programs including Closing the Gap, Aboriginal Dual Diagnosis and Functional Family Therapy – Child Welfare.
NCNS is a bi-cultural organisation, with a large number of Aboriginal staff and projects, working closely with Aboriginal communities is a significant part of our work. It is important that our staff are given learning opportunities to gain skills that help them to deliver culturally safe services to Aboriginal people in a respectful way.
Felicity Ryan, a Waddi Waddi woman, is an accredited trainer who specialises in the development and delivery of training around Cultural Competency, Aboriginal Health and Employment, Child Protection and Out of Home Care.
We are thrilled to have Felicity Ryan coming out next week to NCNS once again, to facilitate workshops on Cultural Awareness Training for our new staff, as well as providing a more advanced workshop to staff that have completed her training in the past.
Our staff are really looking forward to completing this training with Flic. This type of training is essential to give our staff the confidence to deliver the best quality services possible to our local community.
