This training has been designed for family violence workers in rural and regional areas to better support migrant and refugee women and their children who have or are experiencing family violence.

  • Apply the principles of culturally responsive practices when engaging with clients/families from migrant and refugee backgrounds experiencing multiple systemic barriers and discrimination.
