Lunch & Learn will continue to be delivered as free sessions throughout 2025 to strengthen the practice skills and confidence of professionals to safely and effectively respond to family violence.

This session will be delivered by a specialist family violence advisor with Uniting, speaking to their practice across Alcohol & Other Drugs (AOD) and Family Violence.

Following a presentation, participants will have the opportunity engage in a Q&A to unpack how this applies to practice.

Who should attend?

Designed for both specialist and non-specialist family violence practitioners under MARAM, with particular focus on professionals who may want to learn more about navigating family violence risk in their roles.

Please register by Monday 24 March to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
