What our training participants say:
This is very valuable training, and as a man I would
like to see more men taking this training on. I think
more men should be encouraged to do this training,
as the burden of domestic violence is largely
carried by women and children in society. More men
need to come on board to help solve this.
As a result of participating, I now feel better
equipped to understand barriers to disclosing or
leaving and recognise and respect resistance of
victim-survivors in FDV situations.
The presenters were incredibly professional and
knowledgeable. The entire presentation was
informative. I was able to consolidate prior
knowledge whilst adding plenty to my tool kit.
