Gender, Disaster and Financial Wellbeing e-Learning for workers supporting people recovering from disaster
- 2 hrs
- 2 CPD points
- Technical, Skills, Ethics
The Gender, Disaster and Financial Wellbeing e-Learning is a self-paced, online course that focuses on providing an increased awareness of barriers to economic security for women before, during and after disaster, and what workers can do to address these barriers in gender sensitive, strengths-based and trauma-informed ways.
This e-learning has been redeveloped from a two-part, live training course created by WIRE as part of the Gender, Disaster and Financial Wellbeing Project funded by the Victorian Government, and delivered to Victorian financial counsellors and financial capability workers throughout 2021 and 2022.

- Understand how to integrate intersectionality into your practice when a client is affected by disaster
