The Patricia Giles Centre for Non-Violence are offering free, 3-hour workshops to the Disability and Family and Domestic Violence sectors with the aim of increasing your confidence and ability to support women and children with disability who are experiencing family and domestic violence. 

Everyone has the right to live a life free from violence, however women and children with disability are at higher risk of experiencing family and domestic violence (FDV).
