Awareness Raising Webinars
Raising awareness of domestic abuse and sexual abuse, including challenging common myths and perceptions, and increasing awareness of support services available, is central to effective partnership working and community engagement.
As such we have developed the following interactive online awareness sessions for professionals and community members across Staffordshire:
- Sexual Violence Awareness: 1hr Webinar
- Sexual Abuse Awareness – Children and Young People: 1hr Webinar
- Domestic Abuse and Routes to Safety: 1hr Webinar
Change That Lasts – Ask Me Training
People within a survivors community are often the first to know that Domestic Abuse is happening. But a lack of understanding and confidence can make people afraid to talk about it, and unsure how to respond when someone speaks out. Survivors have told us they can feel judged, isolated or even silenced.
This training is for anyone who shares a passion and commitment to help break the silence of domestic abuse in their community and equips everyday people with an understanding of domestic abuse and how to respond to survivors.
