Our Training

“inTouch’s training provided me with a deeper understanding of placing clients at the centre of support- acknowledging the need to be curious to understand how culture impacts a client’s life and decision-making.”

Orange Door Training Participant

Migration Council Training Participant

“This was absolutely fantastic training.  While I am very familiar with intersectionality, it was interesting to explore the barriers experienced by refugee/migrant families and compare them to barriers faced by non-CALD women and families”
