Strengthening Communities Forum: Understanding Family Violence & Health Relationships

InTouch are delivering a culturally respectful and non -judgemental training session focused on early identification of family violence and safe and appropriate responses to disclosures.

Designed specifically for ethno-specific and faith-based community leaders, these sessions acknowledge the important role leaders play in shaping safe and informed communities.
