Invitation to Participate: Research on Trauma Training

My name is Ruby Hamer, and I am a PhD student at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia, under the supervision of Dr. Jessica Mackelprang. Our study, Barriers and Facilitators in Accessing Trauma Training Among Psychiatrists and Psychologists, aims to explore clinicians’ trauma-related training experiences, preferences, and needs.

Participants are invited to complete a 10-minute online survey. English-speaking psychologists and psychiatrists who are registered with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) or international equivalent, if outside Australia, are eligible.
