This two day ‘train-the-trainers’ workshop has been designed to assist those individuals wanting to upskill and deliver training sessions for their workplace colleagues, their local community agencies or for those wanting to provide training as part of their training business.
The focus of this workshop will be ‘strangulation in the context of intimate partner violence’. Described as ‘a red flag on the trajectory to homicide’, it is critical that agencies, professionals and the wider community recognise the signs, symptoms and dynamics associated with strangulation within the context of IPV.
