Training Programs Overseas
The Centre develops and runs training programs overseas, most recently the Parents in Transition Course which focuses on the effects of forced migration loss and trauma on infants young children and their families. Parents in Transition was established in response to growing concern about the impact of migration loss and trauma on child rearing particularly of infants and young children. The migration of parents and children across countries and continents is one of the key issues of our time. The effects of this dispersal on parenting child rearing and nurturing have yet to be estimated and may influence family life for subsequent generations. Research confirms that the preconditions for relationship disturbance and breakdown in later life are established in the first years of life. Therefore the focus of the training is on professionals who work with infants and young children up to the age of five years and their parents.

Where Has The Training Taken Place?
Parents in Transition has been run in the Middle East primarily in Israel for Arab as well as Israeli participants. Workshops have also been run for professional groups in the Palestinian Authority. In Australia the Centre has run a Parents in Transition training program for the Red Cross.
