Training and Professional Development
CMY’s Capability Building Team offer in-depth training and professional development for individuals and organisations who want to build their knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver culturally responsive programs and services to multicultural young people, their families and communities, with a focus on:
- Culturally Responsive Practice
- Youth Settlement
We also support organisations to embed culturally responsive practice through ongoing partnerships and consultancy services that can be tailored to each organisation’s specific needs. This work ensures that young people have access to appropriate support and inclusive services. It also promotes and fosters innovation and the development of strengths-based, responsive models that lead to a more equitable outcomes for multicultural young people, families and communities.
