Julie will focus on learnings gained from regional reviews and highlighted in FVDRC’s Fifth Report.  It will include:

• changing how we think about family violence
• moving from safety planning to safety conversations
• understanding coercive control and entrapment
• moving from “failure to protect” narratives in child protection work
• the impact of intergenerational trauma
