Content Warning: This unit contains subject matter and content that may cause distress, trigger personal trauma, or generate spiritual struggle. Content will include reference to spiritual, sexual, relational and child abuse. Content will also include strong visual images and filmed footage of real trauma in situations including road accident, personal injury, and military combat injury. You are strongly advised to prepare for the possibility that you may need psycho-spiritual support (counsellor, professional supervisor, or spiritual director) for the duration of this unit. You may not be aware of the presence of abuse and or trauma in your own experience until content in this unit triggers memory and emotional response. This generates a level of spiritual and psychological risk that you must be aware of in order to undertake this unit safely and effectively.

You are not required to look at or view any material that you think may cause you psycho-spiritual distress of any kind.

If you do experience distress, are triggered, or require pastoral assistance at any time during the unit please make this known to

  1. Unit lecturer (Dr Christopher Turner) or

  2. Free Pastoral support service 'True Success' (Lynda Boutros 0438 715 800 or Andrew Boutros 0418 755 711).

Your health and safety are of paramount importance to us. No concern is too small for you to share if you need assistance. I look forward to the learning journey ahead with you.
