Lifeline Central Victoria & Mallee is preparing to run two training courses.
One will deliver the highly valuable and intensive two-day DV Alert program.
DV Alert is a more in depth workshop to the DV Aware hosted in June 2021. It is a Federal Government funded program and is offered to the community with NO COST to participants, for the in-depth two-day workshop.
DV Alert provides a lifeline to frontline workers in all industries, if you are one of the first to see the signs of domestic violence, mental health, or suicide then you should attend this training to gain valuable insights into how to recognise, respond and refer those who are in the greatest need, and in many cases may not know where to turn.

Recognise, Respond & Refer

The goals of this training are:
• Driving whole community action to prevent violence.
• Understanding diverse experiences of violence.
• Supporting innovative services and interventions.
• Improving perpetrator interventions.
