SUMMARY:Putting MARAM into Practice: Techniques for Maintaining Engagement & Difficult Family Violence Conversations | CFECFW
DESCRIPTION:The Centre has developed a series of new MARAM workshops entitled “Putting MARAM into Practice”.

SUMMARY:Supporting culturally and linguistically diverse children and families who experience racism | AIFS
DESCRIPTION:Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of racism in its various forms. Racism hurts children and their families in real and fundamental ways\, affecting not only their mental and physical health\, but also their relationships and ability to grow. Practitioners who work with children from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds must understand how racism operates. Understanding that experiences of racism can be systemic\, and experienced by families in different ways\, can help practitioners navigate conversations about racism and support CALD children’s mental health and wellbeing. \nThis webinar will: \n\nincrease awareness of the effects of racism on child and family mental and emotional health and relationships\nidentify the support that parents from a CALD background need to support their child’s mental health and wellbeing\nprovide guidance on how practitioners can discuss and address racism.\n\nThis webinar is recommended for practitioners who may engage and work with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) children\, families and communities. \nClick here for more information and to register

SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day Keynote Address | COTA Victoria & Seniors Rights Victoria
DESCRIPTION:In Australia\, 1 in 6 people over 65 years old will be abused or mistreated at some time. Only a third of elder abuse victim-survivors seek help from services. The main driver of elder abuse is ageism\, which devalues older people and ignores their rights. \nMaria Dimopoulos will serve as the guest speaker at the launch of Seniors Rights Victoria’s World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) 2023 initiatives by exploring ways to address ageism in the workplace and how services can be more inclusive of older people in their responses to family violence. \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Addressing Male Sexism & Entitlement in FV Perpetrator Programs | Northside Counselling Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Interactive discussions about sexism and the impact this has on women who work with male colleagues in family violence perpetrator programs. \nThese reflective practice discussions are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month in 2023. \nBetween each session\, at least another 4 women will be murdered by a current or former male partner by their use of family violence. Since these figures are not changing from year to year\, the need for practitioners to address gender injustices in our personal lives\, not just our work\, becomes even more necessary. \nIn order for us to invite other men to examine and explore themes such as male privilege\, male entitled belief systems\, male sexism and misogyny- themes at the heart of men’s oppression of women- we must examine them first ourselves and openly discuss how our own entitlements over women’s bodies\, choices and rights get enacted in our relationships with female colleagues\, partners and family members\, as well as women generally and other genders usually targeted by male violence and misogyny. \nBy discussing and exposing male privilege and entitlement\, practitioners can challenge and address the risk reinforcing harmful gender and power-based messages in our daily practices. These conversations can be complex and require ongoing supportive spaces like these for men to discuss gender in a way that is purposeful\, mobilising and informed by feminist and anti-oppressive ideas. \nPractitioners from all sectors are invited to attend and participate actively with purpose. \nThis is NOT a men’s only space. This is not group therapy and people of all genders are encouraged to come along. \nZoom meeting link will be sent via email after registration and just before the event. Please allow for your zoom audio and visual functions to be working during the session. \nThis event is brought to you by Anthony Lekkas from northsidecounsellingsolutions.com
