Understanding Family Violence in Migrant and Refugee Communities (for Rural and Regional Victorian professionals only)

Description

Understanding Family Violence in Migrant and Refugee Communities training is part of a suite of training offerings at inTouch.

This training offers professionals who are not family violence specialists with foundational understanding of cultural humility, intersectionality and unconscious bias when supporting refugee and migrant clients experiencing family violence. It will guide professionals with the competencies to apply culturally responsive practice in initial assessment, safety planning, risk management and referral process.

Through a range of case studies and reflection, participants will develop a deeper understanding of service gaps, family violence indicators and risk factors which impact refugee and migrant clients. This training will equip participants with the knowledge/tools to address systemic barriers/apply cultural humility, promote client agency and implement culturally responsive practice.

This training is facilitated online and is specific to rural and regional professionals across Victoria only. At this stage, we are not offering this training to professionals working in metro Melbourne sites. There is a cap of 3 participants per organisation.
