This AVITH in Context webinar focused on the 2024 report, ‘Young people’s experiences and use of violence in the home’ which investigates four types of child maltreatment, their intersections and self-reported use of violence in the home.
This discussion paper reflects on the history of advocacy for cultural safety in Australia, and its promotion and application through cultural safety training and education, including what is currently known about the impact on participants’ knowledge, skills, and subsequent actions. Cultural safety training and education is one of multiple mechanisms needed for embedding cultural safety across systems, policies, programs, and services in the pursuit of health equity and justice.
The voices of children remain overshadowed and marginalized in domestic violence research. Mothers with experiences of domestic violence are central to enabling children’s participation, but few studies focus on their views and perceptions about conducting this research with children. This article addresses this research gap and presents qualitative research undertaken in Australia with mothers on their views about children’s engagement in domestic violence research.
This report examines how we can support men to engage more in actions to prevent gender-based violence. This is the second report published from The Man Box 2024, a study led by The Men’s Project at Jesuit Social Services and conducted in partnership with Respect Victoria. The study examines the attitudes and behaviours of Australian men aged 18 to 45. It measures agreement with and experience of Man Box ‘rules’ – harmful stereotypes about what it means to be a man. Men who agree with these harmful rules are more likely to use violence against women.

Session 2 of the series examines how we act when things are going well, and where we go when we are stressed or shut down with our child. What does our personal history have to do with our autonomic responses? How can we begin to move towards ventral if we are frequently in sympathetic/dorsal? This session includes exercises for self-compassion and reset.
The Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS) is an illicit drug monitoring system conducted in all states and territories of Australia since 2003 and forms part of Drug Trends. In 2024, NDARC have provided a suite of products with the most up-to-date findings from interviews conducted annually from 2003 to 2024 with a cross-sectional sentinel group of people who regularly use ecstasy and other stimulants recruited from all capital cities of Australia.
Session 1 of a series facilitated by Polyvagal Institute. Expert trainer and clinician Dafna Lender presents practical applications for building safety and connection with children. In this session we will explore everyday examples of safety and connection (ventral), dysregulation (sympathetic/dorsal) and repair (return to ventral). We will learn how our nervous system influences our children and vice versa, and discuss ways to get yourself into a calm and open state (ventral) so you can influence your child in a positive way.
This webinar addresses sexualised violence and coercion when working with users of intimate partner violence, to further encourage open and respectful conversation on this often-taboo topic.
