Family Violence First Aid Evaluation

The Prevention of Family Violence First Aid is a 6-week course that aims to:

• build the capacity of non-specialist staff to understand the prevalence of family violence
• build their confidence in identifying it and having compassionate conversations with friends, family and colleagues about it.

Through this course we aim to empower communities to be more aware, able to support people experiencing family violence and confident to refer them to specialist family violence services.

This is the second iteration of the Prevention of Family Violence First Aid with Cardinia Shire’s Together We Can initiative. We conducted it with Aligned Leisure staff, Community First Responders and Pakenham Secondary School teachers.
