Our LGBTQ+ Domestic Violence workshops challenge heteronormative constructs of domestic violence.
They facilitate a discourse of change in relation to domestic violence and coercive control whilst working within a collaborative framework and interagency approach to service provision.
These workshops provide a solid foundation for the development of policy in relation to Diversity, Inclusion and Equality in the workplace and are ideal for promoting health & well-being among staff.
All our training and workshop modules follow the 3 x R’s – How to Recognise, How to Respond and How to Refer male victims of domestic violence and coercive control.
Our training and education team apply evidence-based adult education methodologies in the design and delivery of all our training and education initiatives.
