Due to the popularity of the recently notified Ask Izzy training, we have now organised two Ask Izzy training sessions exclusively for Victorian public library staff.
To refresh: Ask Izzy is a website that connects people in need with housing, a meal, money help, family violence support, counselling and much more.
It is free and anonymous, with thousands of services listed across Australia.
Ask Izzy Connect training develops the capability and confidence to support people experiencing hardship by connecting them with the right support services that can help them.
In this training you’ll learn how to:
- Recognise people experiencing vulnerability and hardship
- Respond to someone who shares something challenging with you
- Refer people to appropriate support and professional help using tools such as Ask Izzy.
- Reflect on your interactions and how to protect your own mental health and wellbeing
The PLV training sessions will be:
- Thursday 18th April: 10am to 12noon
OR
- Tuesday 14th May: 2.00 to 4.00pm
You only need to complete one – the two dates are to give staff options to attend.
Pre-training content needs to be completed before the training and will be sent out two weeks before the session. This preparation work will take around 30 minutes to complete.
Places are strictly limited, so book early. Register at: https://events.humanitix.com/ask-izzy-workshop
