This 3-hour self-paced training provides practitioners with a deeper understanding of honour-based violence (HBV) within the Australian context. Participants will develop the knowledge and confidence to recognise indicators of HBV, understand the legal and practice framework, engage safely and appropriately with perpetrators, support victim-survivors and their families using trauma-informed and culturally safe approaches, and identify appropriate referral pathways.
The course is designed to strengthen recognition, risk assessment, and safe professional responses rather than provide specialist perpetrator intervention training.
Understanding emerging abusive behaviours in the home is crucial in providing holistic support to the whole of the family whilst ensuring safety and well-being and providing a platform to interrupt early abusive behaviours.
AVITH training is a one-day intensive training that explores gaps and challenges in this space, defining child and adolescent-to-parent violence and abuse, understanding its unique characteristics, how trauma affects the brain in child development, assessing risk factors, working with adolescents demonstrating AVITH, utilising the Gillick principle in effective intervention and safety planning.
This course utilises theoretical underpinnings and several case studies to explore how best to recognise and respond to AVITH.
