Developing the Housing and Homelessness Workforce Response to Domestic and Family Violence: A Learning Suite

Abstract

As someone working in the housing and homelessness sector, you may be the first to see warning signs of domestic and family violence. By watching the micro-learning videos and engaging with the online tools, you will:

• Increase your understanding of domestic and family violence;
• Better understand your role in responding to DFV as someone working in the housing and homelessness sector;
• Build confidence in responding appropriately to tenants, or individuals you are supporting who are impacted by DFV; and
• Better understand referral pathways for information and support, both for yourself, and those you are engaging with.

This series of online tools was developed thanks to a grant received from The Department of Child Safety, Youth, and Women as part of Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month 2020.
