Join Engender Equality for this dynamic professional development and training opportunity, as you learn amongst your peers the dynamics and presentations of family violence in our communities, how you can respond to instances of family violence in an appropriate and trauma informed manner, and who you can refer your clients to in the community.
As we face statistics in Australia that reflect one in four women experiencing violence at the hands of their existing or former partner, community services working with families, children and young people are undoubtedly working with those experiencing this form of abuse every day.
In this context, it becomes essential that community organisations are familiar with the presentations, prevalence and wider issue of gendered and family violence, while having the skills, confidence and knowledge to recognise this form of abuse, respond appropriately and refer clients to specialist services to receive the support they require to move towards safety and recovery.
If you work in any space that involves individuals and families within our community, this is essential training to upskill your professional practice to recognise, respond and refer to this form of abuse across your client base, as we join together to end family violence.
