LINKS Training and Support

Training and resources to support kids in out-of-home care, carers and professionals

LINKS Training and Support develops targeted, evidence-based training and resources in Trauma Informed Care and Problem Sexual Behaviour. Delivering on the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, LINKS Training and Support aims to improve the capacity of carers and caseworkers throughout NSW. Established in 2019, the LINKS Training and Support team is part of DCJ Psychological and Specialist Services.

Nearly every child in out-of-home care (OOHC) has experienced at least one traumatic event. LINKS Training and Support equips carers and caseworkers with practical skills and strategies to help children thrive after trauma.

We’re here to help. If you have questions about supporting a child who has experienced trauma, please email us at LINKSsupport@dcj.nsw.gov.au
