AUSTRALIA TICKETS: Addressing VAWG & Family Violence Through Psychology, Politics, and Policing - Australia!

Join VictimFocus for a powerful series of high-quality training events designed for professionals, organisations, and members of the public dedicated to tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and Family Violence through Psychology, Politics, and Policing.

These one day training sessions held across Australia offer advanced insights and practical strategies to create meaningful change. Whether you're an experienced professional or an advocate committed to deepening your understanding, this training will equip you to address VAWG effectively.

What You'll Learn:

Psychology & Trauma-Informed Practice: Implementing sophisticated, evidence-based approaches to support survivors with compassion and expertise.

• Why is psychiatric labelling used against survivors of abuse?
• How can we help survivors to understand their own trauma responses and coping mechanisms instead of seeing themselves as mentally ill?
• What key things are we ignoring, misunderstanding or minimising in trauma recovery and healing?

Politics & Systemic Change: Navigating policy reform, advocacy, and institutional challenges to drive real change.

• How do different political approaches frame victims of abuse and violence?
• Why does politics have such a powerful role in making or breaking our VAWG work?
• What political narratives need to be challenged in order to address VAWG?

Policing & Criminal Justice: Enhancing policing practices and justice system responses to ensure accountability and survivor safety.

• What are the biggest mistakes police and courts are making when it comes to VAWG, and what can we do about it?
• What do we know about the personal values and beliefs of police officers, lawyers and judges - and how are these values affecting justice for women and girls?
• What evidence-based policing practices and legal changes can be implemented to protect women and girls from male violence and abuse?

Delivered by globally recognised experts Dr Jessica Taylor, PhD researcher Jaimi Shrive, and a special guest, this training provides a robust framework to enhance your skills, challenge harmful practices, and contribute to systemic transformation.
