HMA
HMA is a team of professional human service teachers and practitioners offering blended learning solutions to organisations in the social service sector. We work as trainers, programme developers, supervisors and writers in the area of human service work. Much of our work occurs in the areas of consultation in criminal justice work, social work with men, family violence prevention training programmes, child protection, the interviewing of children experiencing trauma, abuse issues, and psychological assessment and therapy. This work occurs both in New Zealand and Australia.
We provide group programme design and training for trainers, group facilitation skills training, social services supervision, and training in motivational interviewing. We also apply our expertise to the design and delivery of training in other fields. Research in areas related to our practice is important to us, and we both write and publish social service books.
For many years we have all involved ourselves in social justice issues and are passionate about making our communities safer and more respectful places, in particular for women and children.
