Identifying and Responding to Domestic Abuse: online workshop

Professional development training for General Practitioners and Allied Health professionals.

GPs and Allied Health professionals will often be first responders in these cases and have a responsibility to identify and respond empathetically, in a manner that does not put the victim-survivor at more risk and, where necessary, provide appropriate referrals. 

What you will learn:

• How to identify, respond safely to, and support victim-survivors of domestic abuse
• An increased understanding of the drivers of domestic abuse
• How to demonstrate ethical, non-judgemental and inclusive behaviour that promotes gender equity and respectful relationships
• An improved ability to manage difficult situations and intervene more safely and confidently when an act of abuse is occurring
• How to avoid collusion with perpetrators and support men’s behaviour and attitude change
• How to respond to attitudes which promote violence, and engage and support the broader community to challenge social norms that maintain violence against women
• Provide referral pathways and information to support safety and recovery
