Workshops, Webinars & Conferences
We design and deliver training to meet the unique needs of your team or audience.
Team training is available on topics like:
- Resilience and Trauma
- Children’s Settlement & Special Needs
- Caring for Refugee Children
- Children’s Settlement Needs
We’ve collected a wealth of expertise, stories and strategies that we would love to share with your team!
WEBINAR EXAMPLE:
In August 2018, Heather was invited by Migration Policy Institute (a US-based think tank) to deliver a webinar with Professor J. Lawrence Aber from New York University to assist US service providers working with young refugee children and their families.
Research & Resource Development
We develop resources that support the settlement and care of newcomer children.
We draw on our expertise, and that of our many partners to simplify the complex and build quality web and print content to support the early learning and child care (ELCC) and settlement community.
EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK:
The Resilience Guide: Strategies for Responding to Trauma in Refugee Children
Caring for Syrian Refugee Children
New in Canada: Multilingual Parent Resource Series
We’d be happy to help you develop resources or ensure your projects reflect the culture and diversity of your community!
Testimonials…

It left us feeling inspired, and confident moving forward in application of pedagogy and advocacy for newcomer children and their families. We appreciated having the opportunity to meaningfully engage with Heather. It is a fantastic workshop related to supporting diversity and inclusion in the early learning setting.”
“What we learned can be used to help all the children in our program not just the Syrian refugees, lots of helpful information.”
“I liked and appreciated that Heather didn’t just present the workshop…she discussed the topic with emotion and understanding. She truly believes and understands the importance of this work.”

After spending the last decade collecting research and promising practices, stories and strategies from across Canada and around the world, we’ve compiled a list of the 9 most important (and surprisingly simple) things everyone should know about childhood trauma and resilience in a simple infographic that you can download and print for your team!
