This training has been designed to assist Victorian refuge staff to better support migrant and refugee women, particularly women on temporary visas. It explores the principles of culturally responsive practice, cultural humility, unconscious bias, and intersectionality and how to apply these to practice.
This training offers a foundational understanding of how to apply culturally responsive practice when engaging with clients/families from migrant and refugee backgrounds experiencing family violence. We will cover cultural humility, intersectionality, and unconscious bias and how to apply these in practice. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the contributing factors that may impact a woman’s capacity to seek and sustain family violence service support.
