Event description

Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence : Working with Those Who Use Violence

Stopping Family Violence has designed this training to build on the foundational knowledge delivered in the ‘Applying a Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Lens’ session. Given the high prevalence of family, domestic and sexual violence (FDSV), most practitioners will have contact with clients who are using violence.

This training is ideal for both frontline practitioners, where the client base is specifically people using FDSV, and intersecting practitioners - those working in fields where it is very common that the client’s presenting concern will intersect with use of FDSV.

The training, delivered over one day, will support you to develop greater confidence and skills for working safely and effectively with people who use FDSV. The session is interactive, with plenty of opportunities for discussion to maximise your learning experience. Topics covered include:

How do I identify problematic behaviours and opinions that could indicate the use of FDSV?
What is collusion? How do I respond to FDSV behaviour without colluding, and in a way that increases safety for victim-survivors?
When and how can I safely intervene? Within my specific role and organisation, what are my capabilities and opportunities?

Whilst specialist FDSV response providers will always play a central role in responding to FDSV, we know that, with the right support, training and information, a broad range of workforces and services can contribute and help by understanding how to recognise and respond safely. FDSV is preventable and we can all contribute to a future free of FDSV.

This course may be eligible for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points for some occupations, for example, social workers, nurses, midwives and psychologists. Please check with your professional association if you have any queries about CPD, and reach out to SFV if you need any more information about the course.

SFV take care to ensure our training workshops are safe and respectful spaces however, at times the content may be confronting or distressing and may bring up unexpected thoughts and feelings. We encourage well-being as a priority and will talk through self-care early in the day.

Stopping Family Violence

Stopping Family Violence was formed on the belief that everyone deserves to live without fear of violence. The organisation’s purpose is to drive the social change that we believe is necessary to put an end to family and domestic violence. At Stopping Family Violence keeping women and children safe from fear of violence is at the core of everything we do. For us, it is vital that that all responses to FDV work to enhance safety and reduce risk for those experiencing FDV. We do this by focusing upon the cause of harm which all too often is men in our community. It is only through changing men’s behaviour that we can hope to end family and domestic violence. Stopping Family Violence works to drive this change by engaging with men (and the services that support them) to help foster the changes that are necessary for them to stop choosing violence and to encourage alternative ways of behaving, by working with children and young people to address the trauma they have experienced as a result of FDV and teach them about the value of positive relationships, by working with organisations who support men to change violent behaviours, and by working with the entire community to change perceptions about family violence and encourage us all to stand together and stand up for anyone they believe may be in danger. We do this work through pilot programs and action research, delivery of training programs within and across sectors, provision of counselling and supervision, by supporting organisations who provide men’s behaviour change programs or who may engage men who are violent and by working in the community to raise awareness and change perceptions. Stopping Family Violence also acts as a peak body for men’s behaviour change programs in Western Australia and as part of this role convenes the WA Men’s Behaviour Change Network.
