Multicultural Workshops
Designed for health, allied health, higher education, childcare frontline capacity and community frontline workers supporting culturally and linguistically diverse communities, the Multicultural DV-alert workshop enables participants to recognise the signs of domestic and family violence, respond appropriately and refer the case if necessary in these communities.
Multicultural DV-alert workshops are delivered in partnership with recognised multicultural service providers around Australia:
During the two-day practical workshop, you'll learn how to recognise the signs of domestic and family violence, how to respond to someone experiencing domestic and family violence and what best practice methods should be used to refer multicultural women on to the most appropriate support service.
To be eligible to attend, participants must work or volunteer in a health, allied health, community, education, childcare frontline capacity supporting Multicultural communities.
