SUMMARY:Webinar: Working Together: Resources to Support Collaborative Assessment of Family Violence Risk | Eastern Metropolitan Regional Family Violence Partnership
DESCRIPTION:The RFVP team is excited to share Working Together: Resources to support collaborative assessment of family violence risk\, which are now available on the RFVP website here. \nTo celebrate the launch of Working Together the RFVP team are holding two webinar information sessions. These sessions will showcase the content of the resources\, examine how they can support frontline professionals and be applied in practice\, and consider how they can support organisational alignment to MARAM. The sessions are relevant to frontline professionals across all sectors who have a role in responding to family violence\, team leaders and managers\, and staff involved in supporting MARAM alignment\, including quality teams. \nWorking Together was developed as a resource to address issues identified through the RFVP’s collaborative discussions and meetings. It was identified that MARAM risk assessments were not always being shared between services when referrals were made\, resulting in multiple risk assessments being completed and clients repeating their story to numerous service providers. In response\, Working Together brings together practice and lived experience knowledge to enhance collaboration between professionals\, including promoting greater sharing of MARAM risk assessments between services and more coordinated multi-agency assessments of family violence risk. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Unpacking Colonial Assumptions | Intertwine
DESCRIPTION:For this session\, we’re exploring colonial assumptions in not-for-profits\, for-purpose organisations and progressive movements. We welcome First Peoples from various lands along with migrants and settlers to come together\, reflect and listen. \nWe often hear people talking about working in decolonising ways — but what does that mean in practice? How does settler privilege and the assumptions of white Western business concepts shape how our organisations are structured and operate? How might we change that? \nThe session will be co-facilitated by grassroots activist and storyteller Jill Faulkner and intertwine co-founder Ro Bersten. Jill was born in Aotearoa\, and has lived on the lands of the First Nations peoples of Australia longer than she has lived on the country of her grandfather\, descendant of the Ngati Te Whiti hapu of the Ati Awa iwi. Ro is an immigrant settler descended from Eastern European Jewish refugees. \nWe look forward to connecting with you and creating new ways of working. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Working Together: Resources to Support Collaborative Assessment of Family Violence Risk | Eastern Metropolitan Regional Family Violence Partnership
DESCRIPTION:The RFVP team is excited to share Working Together: Resources to support collaborative assessment of family violence risk\, which are now available on the RFVP website here. \nTo celebrate the launch of Working Together the RFVP team are holding two webinar information sessions. These sessions will showcase the content of the resources\, examine how they can support frontline professionals and be applied in practice\, and consider how they can support organisational alignment to MARAM. The sessions are relevant to frontline professionals across all sectors who have a role in responding to family violence\, team leaders and managers\, and staff involved in supporting MARAM alignment\, including quality teams. \nWorking Together was developed as a resource to address issues identified through the RFVP’s collaborative discussions and meetings. It was identified that MARAM risk assessments were not always being shared between services when referrals were made\, resulting in multiple risk assessments being completed and clients repeating their story to numerous service providers. In response\, Working Together brings together practice and lived experience knowledge to enhance collaboration between professionals\, including promoting greater sharing of MARAM risk assessments between services and more coordinated multi-agency assessments of family violence risk. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Training: Engaging Dads using Family Violence | Not to Violence
DESCRIPTION:Engaging Dads using Family Violence \nThis training by NTV explores the impact on children witnessing/experiencing abuse and how to shift the focus of interventions to the father’s responsibility and accountability for safe parenting. It unpacks broader narratives that will often attribute responsibility for safety\, security\, and emotional wellbeing of children to the victim-survivor; and is underpinned by the current evidence base that has established an understanding of the gender drivers of men’s violence against women.

SUMMARY:Workshop & Lunch: Framing Age | Southern Melbourne Elder Abuse Prevention Network
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes the way we frame our messages can inadvertently be disrespectful of older people or younger people. For example\, it can be stereotyping individuals according to their age. This is a form of ageism\, which is a known driver of elder abuse. \nTo shift ageist attitudes\, we must begin by thinking\, representing and talking differently about older people and ageing. \nThis 3 hour Workshop & Lunch will increase your knowledge and skills to recognise and reduce ageist language\, imagery and attitudes. It will teach us how to shift ageist attitudes by the way we communicate about older people and ageing. \nThe workshop uses the principles of values-based messaging and the vision-barrier-action framework\, outlined in the Framing Age Message Guide. This will deepen your understanding and skills to develop messages about ageing in a positive way. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Training: Beyond diversity and inclusion | Intertwine
DESCRIPTION:Our introductory training session is designed for people at all organisational levels with beginner to intermediate understanding of workplace diversity and inclusion. \nThis half-day workshop is designed to help you move beyond sensitivity training and diversity to justice and equity. Using a nuanced approach to privilege and marginalisation\, you’ll workshop intersections and effects and work on developing tailored structural solutions for your own organisation or campaigns. \nAt the end of the training\, you will understand the underlying drivers of societal and workplace discrimination and that creating the circumstances for gender equity\, cultural and racial justice\, freedom of sexuality and gender identity and a social model of disability will result in a society where everyone can thrive. You’ll explore how structural interventions by organisations can reduce these impacts and create a welcoming and inclusive workplace. Participants will work in small groups to identify strategies that apply to their own organisations and come away with practical ideas to implement change. Book your place today! \nWe will answer the following questions: \n\nWhat is privilege? How does it relate to power and resistance?\nWhat is the difference between ‘diversity and inclusion’ and ‘equity and justice’?\nHow can we remove barriers in our organisations to create a thriving\, collaborative culture?\nHow do social systems create stigma and discrimination and seep into our organisations\, our interpersonal relationships and our psyches?\nAre our organisations ‘walking the talk’?\n\nThis training session takes place on Zoom. Tickets are free for First Nations people and discounted tickets are available for low income or unhoused people — please enquire by emailing ro@intertwine.org.au. \nNOTE: Session will only run with a minimum of 10 people
