The purpose of this training is to support practitioners delivering primary prevention work. This training does not focus on resistance from people using violence within early intervention or response practice contexts.

Unpacking Resistance training focuses on interpersonal resistance. Attendees will learn how to identify resistant behaviours and attitudes, and develop strategies and tools to support meaningful and solutions-focused conversations. These learnings will help attendees strengthen conversations with those they work with, to progress gender equality in workplaces, sporting clubs or councils.  Establishing spaces and conversations that are built on trust, care and respect will enable you to create change in the long run.
