‘I’ve done my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, but we didn’t learn about children with trauma backgrounds or complex care needs… I wanted to understand more about acute, chronic and complex trauma, and how these different types of trauma impact children’s development, so we could find the best way to support these children. We needed a professional to guide us through it. Caitlin did exactly that and was like a therapist for us!’ – Nethmi, Gowrie Victoria’s Carlton Learning precinct
