Power of Love Workshops

This workshop is designed to provide information and education around Healthy Relationships, Domestic and Family Violence as well as Sexual Assault.

It s a great way to find out what people’s perception are of things around these topics as well as learning the 9 forms Domestic Violence, Laws and where to get help.

Domestic and Family Violence is now 70% of our local police force workload.

Even if we are not directly affected by it we probably know someone who is.

This workshop is a great opportunity to get information to be able to support others that might be experiencing this.

The workshops are in 2 parts that can be run over a full day or over 2 days.
