On behalf of everyone at STARTTS I would like to wish you all the best for the festive season and a safe and relaxing holiday period.

I am incredibly proud of our hard working staff as they respond to the needs of our clients and support them in their healing journey. Sadly, our work with trauma survivors is more necessary now than ever and we look forward to another year working with our clients to help them heal from the scars of trauma and find their place as contributing members of our society.

There have been many reasons to celebrate this year, incuding some fantastic events, which you can read more about below. And don't forget to have a look at what training and other activities are coming up in 2015.

Thank you to all our friends, partners and supporters who continue to make our work possible, and most of all to STARTTS clients who inspire us with their hope and resilience.

Have a wonderful holiday,

Jorge Aroche
CEO
STARTTS

...and what a great night it was! Once again we were completely sold out with over 400 guests, and even had a waiting list for the first time ever!

With an enthusiatic crowd and some new fundraising initiatives, we raised over $30,000 - our highest total ever!

The Ball is undoubtedly one of the most diverse and multicultural events of its kind happening right now, and it was inspiring to see so many people from different walks of life coming together for the common cause of supporting our work with trauma survivors.

See photos and more information about the night on our website, and watch the video below.

Thank you to all our amazing supporters for helping to make the night such a great success, and see you next year! 

If you'd like to deepen your knowledge of working with refugee survivors of torture and trauma, why not attend a training at STARTTS next year? We continue to offer our popular and long established workshops, as well as some brand new ones too!

Of course we will also be holding our Clinical Evenings series, and our Clinical and Community Development Seminar events. And don't forget that you can also request a training in your workplace.

Find out everything you need to know in the 2015 Training Calendar.
