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:Webinar: What is good research evidence and how do you find it? | AIFS
DESCRIPTION:Quality research evidence can improve service design and delivery\, and professionals in child and family services often need to use this to inform their work. This can include writing grant proposals\, developing program theories\, or preparing program evaluations. However\, people may not know how to find high-quality\, relevant research. \nThe Evidence and Evaluation Support (EES) team at the Australian Institute of Family Studies has put together a four-part webinar series to share examples of evaluative practice and ideas for collecting and using evidence in the context of Australian child and family services. \nIn episode 3\, Kat Goldsworthy\, Research Fellow in the Evidence and Evaluation Support team\, sits down with Dr Melissa Willoughby to discuss practical strategies for finding and using research evidence in a practice context. \nThis episode will discuss different types of research evidence and how to find and assess its quality; as well as insights into how research evidence can be used alongside other forms of evidence\, such as lived experience and practice expertise. \nThis webinar will give you: \n\nan understanding of what research evidence is and how it’s relevant to service design and delivery\ninsights into how to identify quality research evidence and make judgments about if it can be used to inform decision-making in practice\ninsights into how to find relevant research evidence.\n\nThe webinar is intended for anyone interested in understanding and using research evidence more effectively. It will be particularly useful for professionals involved in service design and delivery\, especially those who write grants and funding applications\, design new programs or refine existing ones\, and those who support or do program evaluations. \nRegister here
