Trauma-informed, rights-based legal assistance training
Live Online Training
- Better support clients experiencing trauma, poor mental health, or suicidality.
- Improve how you deliver trauma-informed legal services with the With You eLearning and Live Online Training.
The With You Live Online Training offers knowledge, skills, and client scenarios to improve trauma-informed, rights-based legal practice.

• Realise impacts of trauma on staff and clients & understand paths for recovery
• Recognise early signs of trauma before distress becomes heightened
• Respond to trauma with appropriate supports & referrals
• Resist re-traumatisation with healthy coping & reducing traumatic stress
With You training is available with fully-funded places (no cost) to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services, Community Legal Centres, Family Violence Prevention Legal Services, Legal Aid Commissions and Private Practitioners that undertake Legal Aid work.
