This training is designed for practitioners with experience working alongside people who are experiencing family violence. Building on the concepts of entrapment and response-based practice introduced in Levels 1 and 2, Level 3 focuses on resistance.

This training addresses the most challenging parts of advocacy and will enhance participants' skills to support systemic responses such as coordinating multi-agency responses, building community alliances, and utilising information sharing.

Throughout the day, the training will emphasise situating people within their wider contexts – as parents, as youth experiencing family violence, and as members of family, whānau, and community and the responsibilities and expectations that come with that.

Learning Objectives:

• Further develop an understanding regarding concepts of coercive control, entrapment and resistance which inform a response-based approach.
• Explore advocacy against intersectionality and oppression and examine the intersection of mental health, substance misuse and family violence.
