Workshops for Staff and Volunteers

In the first of four workshops, you’ll learn about the different types of family violence, the prevalence of family violence in Australia and how you can raise awareness of, respond to and work towards preventing family violence in your community. You’ll also be provided with information about how to respond when a person discloses to you that they’re experiencing family violence.
