Brothers Standing Tall
This is a two-hour interactive presentation on family violence specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men. The presentation provides a space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men to learn and talk about family violence and the impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, giving the basis to start reflecting on what you can do to prevent family violence in your community.
What will I learn?
You'll walk away with a basic understanding of these issues, and tools that will guide you to recognise family violence, providing you with the foundations to assess what you can do as an individual or group to prevent family violence.
