NZAC Conference 2013 – Narratives From A Counselling Room

ニュージーランドでは、ニュージーランド・カウンセラー協会のメンバーになっています。その学会がネイピアというところで、5月23日から25日まであるので、参加してきます。せっかくなので、三十分の枠で発表する予定です。

話をするタイトルは「Working in the centre of the Tsunami-hit area of Japan」です。どのような反応があるのか楽しみにしているところです。

場所はネイピアで、自宅のあるハミルトンから290Kmで、車で3時間半ぐらいの行程。

ACC Sensitive Claims Service Re-design Update

An estimated one in four women and one in eight men are affected by sexual abuse.

In 2012 alone more than 6,500 survivors of sexual abuse received support and treatment from ACC, and this number is projected to rise.

How we manage and deliver services to our sensitive claims clients matters to ACC.

Having a dedicated sensitive claims assessment and treatment service will help to ensure that our sensitive claims clients receive the best possible service to support them through their recovery.

This presentation will give an overview of the proposed service re-design, the road map for how we’ll get there and provide an opportunity for questions and answers from the floor.
