Hosted by the Connect Research and Training Initiative (Trauma and Shame Stream), School of Psychology, Deakin University

The Connect Research and Training Initiative at Deakin University brings together researchers and partners to translate research on trauma and shame into real-world impact. The Trauma and Shame stream is co-directed by Dr Hannah Bereznicki and Professor Peter Miller, and focuses on how these processes shape behaviour and engagement, advancing trauma-informed and shame-sensitive practice across health and community settings.

Course lead: Trauma Neuro and Shame Awareness (FREE online)

Co-founder: intergenerational Trauma Aware Geelong
