Corporate Training & Consulting

The Family Co. assist corporate clients with their workplace Domestic Violence (DV) responses, as well as delivering DV awareness and response training to all levels of staff from management to frontline. We use our 30+ years of experience working with families impacted by domestic violence to empower and educate staff for our corporate clients.

The Family Co. believes that our communities, schools, workplaces and families thrive when they learn new skills. That’s why we’ve developed programs across a range of areas to support parenting and child development, to educate young people, to support teachers and to provide workplace and corporate training around key issues affecting our communities.

Tailored Presentations & Workshops can be created for your school, workplace or organisation on a range of specific social issues, including:

– Consent, healthy relationships and sexual assault awareness.

– Domestic & Family Violence Awareness and Bystander responses.

– Trauma awareness in parenting and teaching practices.

– Resilience, confidence and self-esteem.

– Grief and loss.

– Emotional awareness and expression.

– Understanding childhood development.

All of our programs contribute to positive workplace or school cultures, balancing diversity and inclusivity objectives. Our programs deliberately encourage active participation and discussion, challenging gender stereotypes and patriarchal attitudes.
