Managing Resistance to Primary Prevention - West Perth

Managing Resistance to Primary Prevention - half day workshop

Do you want to play your part in stopping gender-based violence, but worry about resistance and backlash? Want to feel more confident calling out every day sexism and disrespect towards women? Want to become a stronger advocate for change?

Build your skills and confidence to make a difference by attending our upcoming Managing Resistance to Primary Prevention workshop.

During the workshop participants will:

• learn to recognise and address different forms of resistance

• learn skills and strategies needed to navigate and respond effectively to resistance

• prepare and practice taking different approaches

• learn to create inclusive environments where challenging conversations can lead to meaningful change

• build skills, confidence and resilience as advocates for change

It would be helpful for participants to have a foundational knowledge of primary prevention including the gendered drivers of men's violence against women.
