The Canterbury Family Violence Collaboration offers a free 45-minute “How to Help” workshop to schools. This workshop is designed specifically to support school staff in responding to concerns or disclosures related to family violence. The workshop can be adapted for smaller groups of staff too e.g. teacher aides, different teams etc.

The presentation focusses on practical ideas around how to help and where (and when) to get more in-depth help. It can also take into consideration a school's specific policies around FV concerns and disclosures.

We’ve found that this session fits well within teacher-only days but are happy to work with schools re a suitable time. If your school is interested in a session, please let us know a few dates/times that would suit your staff (e.g. after classes finish) and we can go from there.

Session Content:

• What FV is and how it may manifest itself

• Practical ideas for responding to concerns/disclosures (including school policies around this).

• Services available to help

• Q & A opportunity

You can contact us for bookings, or with any questions, via email. These sessions are in-school and are NOT open to the public.
