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.

Under the theme “#Ubuntu: United for a Safer Future,” this conference is not just an academic gathering — it is a rallying point for global, national and local action in the face of unprecedented challenges caused by the sudden reduction in international aid.

This conference is an urgent call to move beyond business-as-usual. It is a call for solidarity and bold collaboration among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, civil society, and communities. A call to harness our collective knowledge to scale solutions that reduce violence, save lives, and build responsive systems of care.

Safety 2026 will spotlight emerging evidence, innovative technologies, and lived experience across five conference tracks — from epidemiology to economic impact. But it will also shine a light on the deep, often uncomfortable realities of violence and injury: the impact of alcohol, gendered violence, the cost of inaction, and the social fractures that perpetuate harm. Safety 2026 will bridge scientific evidence with proven solutions to generate dialogue between researchers, policy makers and practitioners.
