Train-the-trainer workshops

Train-the-trainer workshops have been developed in collaboration with 360edge, for experienced trainers who have the capacity to deliver training within their workplace.

Trainers will become registered trainers with the Matilda Centre, and provided with the materials to deliver the skills-based training program to other AOD workers, which is aimed at improving the capacity of the AOD workforce to manage co-occurring mental disorders.
