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 #3: Financial & Economic Abuse + Family Law
Financial and economic abuse can be a form of domestic and family violence.
One in four women and one in thirteen men, have experienced domestic or family violence by an intimate partner, and of those who seek support 90% are affected by financial abuse (ABS, 2023).
A person may not identify or even realise that their situation involves economic abuse. Financial and economic abuse may be a hurdle that prevents a person from leaving a violent relationship.
This training will provide you with a deep understanding of how to recognise different types of financial and economic abuse and how to appropriately respond. You and your team will learn how to contribute to the long-term economic safety of victim-survivors.
The training will also provide an overview of Family Law relevant to the topic.
