Feedback from previous participants about Welcome ambassador
The Welcome Ambassador session really opened my eyes to the various challenges that immigrants and refugees face. I now see how crucial the Trauma Informed Approach is for supporting and safeguarding vulnerable groups and individuals. I’ve also grasped the concept of Cultural Humility and its significance in creating inclusive spaces.
