SUMMARY:Examining Whiteness - Exploring our Racialised Selves | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:Exposing\, challenging and resisting white supremacy is not a new experience for People of Colour and Aboriginal\, Indigenous and First Nations peoples – it is a daily reality in a world that is built and centred around whiteness. Without individual and collective activism there are limits to social justice practices and community building.\nWe invite you to join us\, to talk about race – your racialised selves\, practices and systemic racism. This workshop series will create a space to dialogue. To respectfully\, and rigourously explore and challenge racism in our every day.\nThis workshop will use caucusing\, as a dialogical process\, to facilitate honest\, robust\, respectful collective conversations about race\, whiteness\, power and privilege.\nCaucusing creates deliberate separate spaces for participants along racial identity lines to enable deeper reflection and dialogue. People of Colour will have space to speak openly about their experiences politically\, personally and freely\, without being under the gaze of white participants. White participants will work together to critically examine whiteness and its personal\, professional and political impacts in a white-centric racist world. ShantiWorks’ process moves from caucuses to collective spaces for learning.\nIn the words of Grace Lee Boggs:\n“Transform yourself to transform the world”\nWe hope you choose to join us in this anti-racist workshop series. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Deepening Trauma-and Violence-Informed Care (TVIC) in Family Violence Practice - 3 Part Workshop | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: Wednesday 25th March 2026 \nPart 2: Thursday 26th March 2026 \nPart 3: Wednesday 1st April 2026 \nTime: Each session runs 11am – 1pm (AEDT) \nCost: $300 per workshop and $750 for all three \nPayment is via paypal but please note that there is an option to pay via card in Paypal if you do not have to have a Paypal account. \nThis advanced TVIC workshop series builds on foundational understandings of TVIC practice and supports practitioners\, leaders\, and sector partners to deepen their skills across three interconnected areas: structural and systemic violence\, accountability with people who use violence\, and TVIC‑aligned leadership. Each session offers evidence‑informed frameworks\, reflective practice\, and practical tools applicable for domestic and family violence contexts. \nPart 1: This session strengthens practitioners’ capacity to recognise and respond to the broader conditions that shape victim‑survivors’ choices\, risks\, and opportunities. It explores how structural and systemic violence such as racism\, poverty\, colonisation\, ableism\, and institutional harm intersect with interpersonal violence and influence safety planning\, decision‑making\, and service access. \nPart 2:  This session focuses on strengthening accountability work with people who use violence while maintaining clear boundaries and a dignity‑centred approach. We examine how trauma histories\, shame\, defensiveness\, and structural disadvantage can shape behaviour without excusing harm. \nPart 3: This session is designed for leaders\, supervisors\, coordinators\, and emerging leaders who want to embed TVIC across teams and organisational systems. We explore how formal and informal leadership practices shape safety\, culture\, and practitioner wellbeing. \n  \nThis workshop series will offer: \n\n\nA deeper understanding of how structural and systemic violence shapes risk\, choice\, safety\, and service access. \n\n\nExplore ways for recognising contexts of constraint and supporting victim‑survivor agency. \n\n\nStrategies for integrating system advocacy into everyday practice and strengthening culturally responsive\, intersectional approaches. \n\n\nPractical tools for holding dignity‑centred\, accountability conversations with people who use violence. \n\n\nMethods for integrating trauma histories into perpetrator work without excusing or minimising harm. \n\n\nLeadership skills for embedding TVIC across teams\, programs\, and organisational systems. \n\n\nStrategies for aligning policies\, supervision\, and everyday decision‑making with TVIC principles.

SUMMARY:Responding to Suicides in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will explore the complex relationship between suicide and intimate partner violence\, examining the tensions\, challenges and opportunities in policy and practice. It is devastating when an intimate partner violence victim takes their own life because they are subject to such torment\, pain and entrapment. To prevent such suicides\, it is essential to strengthen coordinated responses to both victims and perpetrators. \nThrough the lens of social entrapment and coercive control\, we will explore how patterns of threat and risk posed by perpetrators of intimate partner violence can lead to suicide by victims. Using Jane Monckton-Smith’s 8-stage timeline of coerced suicide\, this workshop will encourage critical reflection and practice possibilities to strengthen risk assessment\, safety planning\, multi-agency cooperation\, and documentation. \nThis workshop will: \n\nShare current local data and evidence about intimate partner suicides.\nFacilitate learnings from Professor Jane Monckton Smith’s work on the 8-stage intimate partner suicide timeline.\nNote the ways perpetrators tactically use threats to suicide and what this means for ongoing control and entrapment in the lives of victims.\nProvide possibilities to expose social entrapment in our risk assessment to intervene and disrupt the constraints that intimate partner violence inflicts on victims\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Resistive Violence - 2 Part Workshop Series | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 – Exploring the concept of resistive violence\nThursday 24th July 2025\, 10am – 12pm\nPart 2 – Advocacy-focused responses to those using resistive violence in the face of oppression\nThursday 31st July 2025\, 10am – 12pm \nForm: Online via zoom \nPeople are never passive in their resistance to oppression.\nHowever\, acts of protection\, of survival and resistance are often incorrectly and unjustly interpreted as aggression or violence. Victims/survivors of family violence\, particularly those who have been marginalised\, are often labelled as violent for resisting oppression and abuse\, or for defending their lives\, their dignity and their children.\nMisidentification is an ongoing systemic injustice – when we respond to victims/survivors as perpetrators\, and perpetrators as victims of abuse.\nIn this workshop we want to critically reflect on our assumptions about domestic violence\, coercive control and social entrapment. It is critical that we continue to educate ourselves on victims’/survivors’ use of resistive violence\, the context of the use of legal and illegal force\, and to learn and challenge assumptions and responses that disproportionately harm victims/survivors of intimate partner violence\, (particularly women of colour\, migrant and refugee women\, and Aboriginal and First Nations women). \nThis workshop will unpack the concept of resistive violence and consider strategies that victims/survivors use as a response to perpetrators’ coercive tactics. Making resistive strategies visible is political praxis: it is a way of contextualising intimate partner violence and survival responses to living in an intimate oppressive regime. \nHopes for this workshop\n•Explore the concept of resistive violence and understand how victims/survivors of family violence may use violence to protect themselves\, their dignity\, and their children.\n•Explore practice strategies for responding to victims/survivors using resistive violence.\n•Apply a trauma-and violence-informed and intersectional approaches to working with individuals who use resistive violence.\n•Recognise and explore implications for intervention\, advocacy\, and criminal justice responses. \n  \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Exploring Trauma & Violence - Informed Care (TVIC) Framework for Domestic & Family Violence Practice | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 – Trauma-and Violence-Informed Care with Perpetrators\nTuesday 8th July 2025\, 10am – 12pm\nPart 2 – Trauma-and Violence-Informed Care with Victims/Survivors\nWednesday 9th July 2025\, 10am – 12pm\nForm: Online via zoom\nRegister here: https://www.shantiworks.com.au/upcomingworkshops\nFee:\n$300 + GST per workshop\n$600 + GST for both workshops \nTrauma is not the total of any person or community. People and communities that have suffered trauma and systemic oppression resist this daily with many and varied strengths and resiliencies. The power of TVIC and intersectional interventions is understanding people as a whole\, not as only one-dimensional.\nTrauma-and Violence-Informed Care (TVIC) not only recognises the impact of individual trauma but also seeks to understand and address the broader social and structural conditions that contribute to ongoing harm. TVIC links interpersonal violence with the wider context of people’s lives\, acknowledging how various forms of structural violence such as poverty\, racism\, discrimination and social exclusion intersect and compound personal experiences of trauma.\nWith people using violence to their intimate partners – TVIC is new and developing framework for practice. Holding a TVIC framework can be humanising and create a platform for accountability and reparation. Working with people using violence to acknowledge how their past trauma impacts their present ways of being ensures that they are treated with dignity which is foundational work for responsibility and accountability conversations.\nWith victims/survivors – TVIC encourages practitioners to think\, assess and respond beyond individual support and extend practice possibilities to incorporate a system advocacy in responding to the context of entrapments in the lives of victims/survivors. TVIC provides opportunity to engage with people’s trauma and acknowledge it has an impact on their current responses and choices. Building safety begins with victims/survivors’ wishes and needs\, and their priorities\, which includes decisions that they make and the direction they see for their life.\nThis workshop series will offer:\n•\nA TVIC framework for domestic & family violence sectors that holds context and systems in focus\n•\nStrategies for practicing with dignity & safety with victims/survivors\n•\nStrategies for practicing with dignity & accountability with people using violence\nSHANTIWORKS’ WORKSHOP SERIES \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Responding to Coerced and Tactical Suicide within the Context of Family Violence | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will begin to make sense of the interplay between suicide and intimate partner violence. Through the lens of coercive control and social entrapment\, we will explore how patterns of threat and risk posed by perpetrators of intimate partner violence not only leads to potential homicide but also suicide of victims/survivors. This workshop will provide scaffolding around our practice\, to better make visible the coercive and entrapping nature of intimate partner violence\, to strengthen our risk assessment\, safety planning and threat management work. We will also examine the tactical use of suicide by perpetrators and the ripple effects for victims\, family and community. \nClick here to access the flyer for more information  \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Practice Possibilities for Responding to Intimate Partner Homicide | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:Femicide is pervasive in white hetero-patriarchy. Across Australia\, we know women are murdered by their male partners very week. This is the reality of our work. It requires us\, as practitioners and organisations\, to learn more about systems’ gaps\, the processes and practices that do not serve the safety of victims or the accountability of the perpetrator. Examining our community and systemic responses is critical in determining primary risk factors and\, identifying possible points of intervention\, that could assist with the prevention of domestic violence homicides. This workshop offers collective scrutiny of the social and political context in which we conduct our work\, as practitioners\, teams and coordinated communities. We will explore our theories and assumptions about domes?c and family violence homicide to strengthen our responses to men’s abuse and murder of women. Drawing on the work of Professor Jane Monckton-Smith and her development of her 8-stage homicide timeline\, we will offer a set up for exploring this work. We will unpack stories of domestic violence homicide as a way of learning about what we\, as workers and advocates who make up systems of entrapment can do better. We hope that this will enable us to more effectively intervene at critical moments which may prevent yet another woman being murdered by a current or former male partner. Our hope is that we can grow and deepen our collective capacities to hold risk\, refine our risk assessment and management practices\, and truly partner with victims/survivors in working towards safety and freedom. To work with dignity and accountability with perpetrators and each other as integrated partners. \nThis workshop will be in person.\nLunch and afternoon tea will be provided\nDate: Tuesday 2nd May 2023\nTime: 10am – 3pm\nFee: $660 (inclusive of GST)\nVenue: Melbourne CBD – details to be confirmed upon registrationx \nSee the event flyer here: ShantiWorks Workshop May 2023 – PRACTICE POSSIBILITIES FOR RESPONDING TO INTIMATE PARTNER HOMICIDE
