Penumbra employs the Link Workers who work with the Alliance. Penumbra is committed to the values of the Alliance and is a leading provider of person-centred, trauma-informed services that provide compassionate responses to people in distress.
Link Workers provide the support to those who contact, or are referred, to the service. The aim is to provide short-term support, and to arrange supports, from a pre-defined menu of options where support requirements appear to require more than the initial support conversations.
