They also spoke about the way language is used to conceal violence and oppression and that violence and abuse is a unilateral act and consists of the actions of one person against the will and well being of another. By focusing on a client’s responses, their actions and experiences can be explored to elicit more complete and accurate accounts of their resistance to violence and oppression. |
The main areas of discussion were:
|  |
- Working with Children: How children respond and resist violence, broadly defined, and what this means for how to work with children;
- Working with Offenders; Best Practice with solution based focus; and
- Language and violence: Critically evaluate the work we do.
Resource material presented was easily translatable to anyone working with victims and perpetrators of domestic and family violence. Feedback from the conference was extremely positive with attendees making the following comments:
“This training/conference has been the most inspirational and stimulating one I have ever been to. Very enriching and uplifting even in the midst of the difficult content that is violence against women and children.”
“Wonderful soul food, so refreshing-considered resigning last week-but now, I feel so inspired, acknowledged and invigorated, despite being under-resourced, poorly supported systemically. Please keep coming back, we need you!"
