Men As Allies : Active Bystander Training

Creating safer communities starts with all of us.

As part of the Men as Allies project, Wagga Women's Health Centre invites the community to participate in this practical and engaging Active Bystander Training workshop facilitated by the Be There Group.

This interactive session explores the important role we all play in preventing domestic and family violence and creating respectful, inclusive communities.

Participants will learn how to:

• Recognise early signs of harmful, disrespectful or controlling behaviour
• Understand how everyday actions contribute to culture and the continuum of violence
• Build confidence to safely intervene in challenging situations
• Challenge attitudes and behaviours that enable violence
• Support friends, family members, colleagues and community members appropriately
• Develop practical strategies to respond under pressure without escalating situations

The workshop is trauma-informed, practical and highly relatable, providing participants with tools and strategies they can use immediately in everyday life.

Whether you are a parent, friend, neighbour, volunteer, employee, student or community member, this training will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to safely speak up, support others and help create safer communities for everyone.

Everyone has a role to play in preventing domestic and family violence.
