1-Day Men who use Violence Focused Workshop
The 1-Day Men who use violence Focused Workshop is offered at no cost to equip frontline workers with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively to domestic and family violence. This workshop is part of DV-alert’s Assessment Pathway, helping learners work towards a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment.
What you will learn
Further training for frontline workers who have completed any 2-day DV-alert workshop, this workshop focuses on the drivers of men’s use of violence and how to take actions that will lower the risk these men present to their partners and children. Frontline workers will learn how to Recognise, Respond and Refer appropriately and with care.
By the end of the workshop, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to:
- Assist people who encounter instances of males who use violence in their capacity as frontline workers

- Avoid actions which may raise the levels of danger these men may present to their partners and children.

- build knowledge and skills to become a confident first responder to domestic and family violence
- learn from highly skilled, and experienced facilitators
- network and share insights with other frontline workers in the community

“Great addition in learning to the 2-Day Foundations workshop - answered many of the questions left afterwards and really opened up (a) full understanding of DV relationships. I found the roleplay was really useful for modelling our own interviewing style. Thanks again for the amazing opportunity!”
