LATEST NEWS: Supporting Healthcare Professionals to Respond to Child Sexual Abuse

Laurel House, in collaboration with Primary Health Tasmania and Safer Families Centre, recently delivered a reflective workshop for primary healthcare professionals in Launceston, exploring child sexual abuse in the Tasmanian context.

The session focused on recognising disclosures, creating safe environments and strengthening connections between primary care and specialist support services.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this important discussion.

If you are working in primary care in Tasmania, join us for the next workshop in Swansea, from 6pm to 7.30pm on Wednesday 25 November. Learn more and register here: tasp.hn/csa-workshop-east-coast
