Domestic and family violence (DFV) is more than just physical abuse and can happen in any home. This training series covers the different types of abuse so participants will understand what signs to look out for, how to keep themselves safe and support victim/survivors.
These low cost and fully-catered sessions in the Wagga Wagga Civic Centre for targeted to local frontline workers and volunteers in organisations where domestic and family violence (DFV) is not a primary focus. Social services staff whose primary function is DFV support are also welcome to register.
Please note that these workshops are not support groups and will include triggering/sensitive themes.
Session #2: Online & Tech Facilitated Abuse
At the beginning of 2024, there were over 25 million internet users and 20 million social media users (78.3% of the population) in Australia and the average Australian spends just over six (6) hours per day online with nearly two hours dedicated to social media.
With our lives being so dependent on access services, connection and day-to-day activities via devices online, it’s important that everyone understand how to stay safe.
In this session you’ll come to understand the types of abusive and violence behaviour that is facilitated by technology, using devices, platforms and programs, apps and the internet.
We share how the internet, communication platforms and technology are weaponised and provide strategies, screening tools, protective behaviours and reporting pathways to all forms of abusive behaviour such as stalking, harassment, hacking, intimidation, threats, trolling, doxing, humiliation and coercion including monitoring, surveillance, tracking and controlling behaviours.
