Prevention of family violence

We work in collaboration with communities, other organisations and individuals to provide community learning and development that focuses on primary prevention of family violence.  All our community initiatives use a “whole of community” or “whole of school” approach to ensure sustainable change for the future.

We can provide specialised resources, information and programs on respectful relationships and prevention of family violence, often incorporating these workshops with our sexual assault and women’s health workshops.  These are available in community settings, workplaces, correctional facilities and educational institutions.

We offer a diverse range of family violence workshops, programs and events in Geraldton and throughout the Midwest.

In 2019, we have provided the following programs and events:-

• Respectful relationships session at a Year 6 Health & Wellbeing Expo
• Resilience and wellbeing sessions for Primary students in year 3 to 6
• Resilience building education groups
• Family violence workshops for agencies and community
• Our annual March Against Violence event to raise awareness of family violence
• Information stalls by invitation at local events

We also offer professional development in the Midwest, provided by Desert Blue Connect qualified staff or visiting experts.
