SUMMARY:Webinar: Preventing childhood emotional abuse: Prioritising action | AIFS
DESCRIPTION:National Child Protection Week (NCPW) is a big week for the sector and we’re very proud to be partnering with the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) for another important webinar. \nThis year we’ll be picking up the conversation from the NCPW webinar from 2023 on childhood emotional abuse. \nThe theme for NCPW 2025 is Shifting Conversations to Action. In line with this theme\, our expert panel will be focussing on practical ways we as a sector can improve our response to this harmful form of child maltreatment – particularly through parental support. \nAccording to the Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS)\, approximately 35% of young people aged 16–24 have experienced emotional abuse. Findings from the ACMS also suggest the prevalence of this form of abuse is increasing with higher rates among younger cohorts (16–24 years) than among older cohorts (25–44 years and 45 years and older). \nEmotional abuse contributes to a range of social\, physical and psychological issues. However\, despite its high prevalence and associated poor outcomes\, emotional abuse remains poorly understood across much of the child and family sector. \nThis webinar will explore some of the risk factors of childhood emotional abuse\, including parental stress and burnout\, and discuss how to recognise\, respond to and prevent this form of maltreatment – with a focus of empathising with the parents you work with and understanding why they might be engaging with their children in this way. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Valuing practitioners’ expertise in domestic\, family and sexual violence research | ANROWS
DESCRIPTION:ANROWS announces the third instalment of our webinar series unpacking the ways of working and ways of knowing set out in The Australian National Research Agenda to End Violence against Women and Children (ANRA) 2023–2028. \nThe Research Agenda describes practitioners’ expertise as essential in all phases of domestic\, family and sexual violence (DFSV) research and evaluation\, including design to data collection to implementation. \n“Practitioner expertise” goes beyond frontline DFSV roles and includes police\, courts\, housing\, education\, finance\, and other services that intersect with victim-survivors and people who use violence. \nPractitioners bring deep\, real world knowledge that can strengthen research design\, shape measurable outcomes and highlight ethical considerations. \nJoin Miranda Moir\, Brodie Evans\, Skye Trudgett\, and Karen Iles for a panel conversation exploring: \n\nHow to challenge the idea that practitioner-led research and evaluation is ‘less than’\nWhat it means to engage practitioners meaningfully\, ethically\, and sustainably\nHow we can better recognise and value practitioners’ expertise across the system\n\nThe discussion will be followed with a live Q&A. You can also submit questions ahead of time when you register. \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
