In Australia up to one in three victims of intimate partner violence are male. While many services have quite rightly been established over the past three decades to support female victims of family violence, the needs of male victims and female perpetrators of violence remain largely unmet.
The issue of men affected by violence in intimate relationships has been reported for many years and now workers in the domestic violence, community and family relationship sectors are acknowledging this problem and seeking out training for their workers
The training program is for health, welfare and community workers. It provides information and strategies for working with men who are affected by violence in their relationships and presents a model for this work.
Training program includes:
- Background to the problem and context violence and abuse occurs in
- The affect of domestic violence on a person - what’s different for men
- Strategies for working with men from a strengths based perspective
- A model for working with men affected by violence
- Building services for male victims of DV into your agency – what you need to consider
- Promoting work with male victims of DV
Past training course participant's comments:
"You provide easy to use strategies, and practical ways to change my practice that I can implement straight away"
“I liked the way you engaged with all of us individually over the two days. It has given me a really fresh way of looking at the way I work with men. Many thanks for providing an exciting and stimulating training course, the best I’ve ever been to!!”
“I thought the program was right on target, well balanced and very helpful for women who work with men. The information supplied was much more than you normally get from training sessions I’ve been to.”
