ONE DAY ONLINE FORUM: Promoting Safety. Preventing Family Violence. Specifically for Victorian Based Organisations; Multicultural Sector Workers, Community Leaders and Faith Based Leaders.

Description

This session will:

• Strengthen understanding of family violence in multicultural contexts
• Build confidence to identify early warning signs
• Increase skills and knowledge to respond safely and appropriately
• Support leaders to connect community members with relevant services
• Support leaders to champion safety and wellbeing within their communities

We will explore healthy relationships by examining how respect, equality, and safety are expressed in everyday interactions, while encouraging respectful communication and shared decision‑making to foster understanding, mutual respect, and balanced relationships within families and communities. Designed specifically for ethno-specific and faith-based community leaders, these sessions acknowledge the important role leaders play in shaping safe and informed communities.

Please note: This training is for Victorian-based organisations only

PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITIES

We recognise that community and faith leaders are often trusted first points of contact. This session aims to strengthen existing leadership capacity, by providing practical tools, shared language, and culturally responsive approaches to preventing and responding to family violence.
