About this event

  • 6 hours

Doing work where you support people who have been harmed by other people perpetrating violence, abuse, or oppression, can be a source of strength and enrichment. It can also be challenging for our minds, bodies and spirit.

This workshop provides a unique opportunity for practitioners to explore and reflect on how this work can offer both welcome and unwelcome changes within ourselves, how our responses are shaped by social, cultural and political landscapes, and the importance of individually and collectively finding ways to connect with values, meaning, safety, and care. In this workshop, you will have space to reflect on actions you and your team/organisation can take, which may be protective in the face of work-related stress and vicarious trauma.

WHO: for practitioners working with people harmed by violence, abuse or oppression.

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: none.

DURATION: 6 hours

Women’s Safety Services SA (WSSSA) is South Australia’s leading specialist in providing an integrated response to women and children experiencing domestic and family violence. As part of this work, we offer practice and skill-based training around recognising and responding to domestic and family violence.

Our training draws upon the latest domestic and family violence research and practice frameworks, and is suitable for social workers, employees in the public sector, community workers, students and people that work closely with children and families.

We believe domestic violence is everybody’s business and that all layers of society should continue to strive for its elimination. By taking part in our training, you will be upskilling yourself to better support women experiencing domestic and family violence within the scope of your professional practice.

We are also able to book training sessions specifically for your workplace. If you are interested, please contact us at training@womenssafetyservices.com.au
