This introductory training prepares attendees to respond appropriately and safely to people experiencing family violence. The session will introduce attendees to an understanding of the impact family violence has on adults and children and of the complexity of family violence and its effects on a person’s dignity and wellbeing. Attendees will also learn and practice the Recognise/Respond/Refer model with scenarios whilst also interactively exploring the concepts of social entrapment, coercive control and resistance.
