Bringing About Healing in a Traumatised Society

It has been argued that the legacy of apartheid has bequeathed to South Africa a "culture of violence". This is rooted in the notion that violence in South Africa has become normative rather than deviant and it has come to be regarded as an appropriate means of resolving social, political and domestic conflict. This is quite easily visible across the entire spectrum, where violence has been sanctioned as a means both of maintaining power, as well as an accepted means of attaining change or resolving conflict. Faced with the universal reality of unexpected life events, e.g. accidents, devastating natural disasters and retrenchments, loss is an aspect of our lives which all of us have to confront at some stage. It is an area that many people avoid looking at and professionals avoid working with.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

  • By the end of this training the participants should be able to:
  • Recognize the need for healing in the South African context
  • Know the interconnectedness of trauma, loss and violence
  • Demonstrate a deeper insight in to the dynamics of trauma, loss and abusive relationships
  • Describe the difference between trauma debriefing and trauma support
  • Explain a normal response verses a pathological response to trauma and loss
  • Define the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Recognize the cycle of violence in the South African context
  • Describe what lies behind violent behavior
  • Identify why women stay in violent relationships

Supervision Skills - 18 CPD (SACSSP)

Various authors, e.g. Epstein; Austin and Akin describe supervision as a scientifically based process whereby the supervisor guides the supervisee in the development of his / her professional capacity to enable him / her to function independently and autonomously. In implementing this responsibility, the supervisor performs supervisory functions in interaction with the supervisee in the context of a positive professional relationship. The rationale for the Supervision Framework for the Social Work Profession in SA: 2012, was to address the:

  • decline in the productivity and quality of social work services rendered
  • lack of supervision
  • lack of adequate training of supervisors
It is now a legislative requirement for all social workers to be supervised by social work supervisors who have attended a supervision course recognized by the SACSSP. FAMSA Western Cape has been running SACSSP CPD accredited supervision training since 2010 when CPD was implemented for the Social Work Profession in SA. FAMSA Western Cape has also been the leader in the field by being (as far as known) the first to establish a Supervisor’s Forum for supervisors in 2001. The aim of the Supervisor’s Forum was:
  • to create a career path for social workers
  • to support the fledgling supervisors
  • to educate and equip them about the practice of supervision
  • to keep them administratively accountable to ensure a quality ethical service
Learning Outcomes By the end of this training the participants should be able to:
  • Have some understanding of how their experience with receiving supervision might impact on their practice of giving supervision.
  • Indicate the importance of the objectives, principles and values of supervision and have a clear understanding of the definition of supervision.
  • Have a clear understanding of how they are complying with the norms and standards of the supervision framework.
  • Have a clear understanding of what they need to put in place for them to be fully compliant with the norms and standards of the supervision framework.
  • Demonstrate an ability to implement the theory related to the administrative, supportive, motivational and personality enrichment functions in handling a difficult supervisee.
  • Demonstrate an ability to support a supervisee with his / her job-related tensions.
  • Complete an educational assessment and PDP on a supervisee.
  • Plot a supervisee on the PM assessment scale and indicate the most applicable supervision style.
  • Demonstrate an awareness of insight gained from completing a multicultural awareness and diversity questionnaire and how to apply this to the supervision practice.
  • Do a supervision contract with a supervisee on the prescribed template.
  • Have a fair understanding of their confidence and assertiveness levels and how this is impacting on your supervision practice.
  • Have completed the evaluation form in the workbook.

Participants will only be awarded a certificate after attendance of all nine online sessions and submission of all their PoE activities by the end of the training. ​ Online Training This training will be facilitated online by means of the Zoom Application.

Working With Trauma - 18.5 CPD (SACSSP)

Life is inherently unpredictable, meaning that all people will at some time face an event that to them will be traumatic.

COVID 19 has shifted the landscape so dramatically that all industries find themselves trying to define the new normal. Social work and the counseling profession is no different.

Bereavement

We are currently working on this course.



The Hero Book

This workshop offers an opportunity for self-exploration, growth and personal change through stimulating creativity, mindfulness and journaling. The course is spread over 4 sessions and will lead participants through their own biographies, to rediscover themselves as heroes rather than victims.

While writing and illustrating their own books, participants rewrite the story of their lives. Gaining a better understanding through this process facilitates the power to heal and take greater control of one’s life. The process is profound in its simplicity and uses a combination of methods including drawing, journaling, talking, movement and reflection.

The Hero Book process was first developed at the turn of the 21st century by Dr Jonathan Morgan, a clinical psychologist at the University of Cape Town, in order to help AIDS orphans and vulnerable children identify heroic qualities in themselves. Through its simplicity it has since proven highly effective with both children and adults, and people of all ages and cultural backgrounds.

Is this for me?

You will certainly benefit from the course:

  • If you are facing a situation in which you feel stuck or at a “crossroads” OR if you are looking for a deeper sense of purpose in your life.
  • If you would like personal and/or professional growth and development
  • IF you are dealing with loss, trauma or grief
  • IF you are in a caring role and need to build an inner resilience
  • Practitioners, therapists and also their patients or clients.
  • Those eager to shift a relationship with a partner, parent, child or sibling.
  • If you would like to learn a technique for group facilitation that is profound, fun, affordable and can be applied to children, adolescents and adults

Description of the process of the course:

  • Participants are led through a series of art and storytelling exercises designed to ‘re-tell’ their narrative looking for alternative stories and possible outcomes.
  • Hero Book storytelling works as a therapeutic interview and is based on the principals of narrative therapy, taking the participants into their past, moving them into the present and opening them towards the future.
  • Taken separately, each exercise has its own specific agenda, which includes elements of history taking, creating expressive art or rewriting a life story. The highlight of the Hero Book experience is rewriting a life story as a victor rather than as a victim.
  • The group members and facilitator enter strongly into the process as supportive co-authors of the participant’s new life-story. Privacy and confidentiality are crucial to creating a safe space for all participants.
  • Each session concludes with time for reflection and sharing. Participants are encouraged to contribute during group discussions but it is not compulsory.
  • At the end, you will have created a well-illustrated and graphic personal document as witness to your story.

Additional Outcomes

Those participants, who wish to, will be in a position to become facilitators, with mentorship. A facilitator’s manual is provided.

Dates: 2022 Time: 09:30-11:30 (2 hours per session) This course will be online.
