In 2025 the world is yours
New Nursing conferences and even cruises in 2025
We’re excited to be working with Nurses for Nurses once more in 2025, and together, we’ve lined up four exciting conference opportunities. Any, or all, of these conferences would be glorious ways to have a much-needed holiday and get those essential CPD hours.
In late January, Colleen and I will present at a three-day conference on the beautiful Sunshine Coast titled “Being Trauma-Informed across the Life Span.” This conference will yield 15 CPD hours.
Later, at the end of March, we’ll be on an 8-day cruise conference in collaboration with Education at Sea, sailing out of Brisbane to the beautiful South Pacific islands. We’ll stop in different ports to explore parts of Vanuatu between our conference sessions, before sailing back to Brisbane.
The effect of trauma on people’s lives is all over social media at present,

New T-Shirts – The Limbic System
I have been delivering education on professional boundaries since 2005. Over that time I have worked with many groups from diverse organisations. I have worked 1:1 with professionals who have transgressed professional boundaries with patients, clients, and customers. Through the stories from participants in workshops or in 1:1 work, it is clear that in many cases there are significant links between their adverse childhood experiences and transgressing boundaries as an adult. Old systems get activated when at what I call the boundary crossroads – to establish a boundary or defer to old role responses to keep safe.

…is it 2024 already?

I looked back at my last blog posted in 2022 and, believe it or not, we were all still in lockdown. Seems such a long time ago now. I am thinking back over those past years and how much Davaar has achieved, or should I say ‘Wendy’ has achieved in that time. Zoom is certainly the way to go. It’s workable for all parties when it comes to ‘finding time’ and convenience. Add to the mix, the usual face-to-face workshops in all states of Australia, and a conference in Melbourne and before you know it, the months rush by and we’re heading into…
2023 – also a year of travel. January saw a trip to Cambodia. Both Wendy and Colleen presented for 41⁄2 days covering such topics as: Defining trauma and where stress and PTSD fit; the impact of trauma in the workplace; exploring trauma; understanding the interplay between trauma, the limbic system, and chronic health conditions; substance use for self-care; what is transference; professional boundaries; and many more.
They both had a wonderful time in the land of stunning colours, amazing temples, and mind-blowing food. Picture if you will: à la-cricket naturale. And I have the photo to prove it! A fun year looking back.
Fast forward to 2024. Our diary started filling up at an encouraging rate, starting at the end of last year. But, hey, I am not complaining! The diversity of my workload keeps me from getting bored ..
. not to mention ‘on my toes’. We have booked three huge workshops, from
Feb to May. For the exciting details and registration form please go to our website calendar. For your colleagues, staff, and self – you don’t want to miss out on these.
There’s a Trauma Informed Interpreting Practice Training workshop via Zoom in April & May for our friends in the UK – but open to all who don’t want to miss this unique opportunity.
