Support, safety and social change

One in three Australian women and one in nine men have experienced physical violence at home, and one woman per week is killed by a current or former intimate partner.

This workshop is designed to help service providers and concerned community members identify the signs of abuse and provide appropriate responses and support.

Drawing on many years of research and providing evidence-based tools, this course helps participants understand the complex forms of domestic violence, recognise the signs and empowers them with the skills and resources to offer support.

Topics include:

Understanding domestic violence:
facts and myths
Types of abuse
Recognising the signs
Barriers to leaving
Safety information

about violence and abuse
Practical ways to assist

Take-home reference package and free online resources.
