F A M I L Y VIOLENCE G N I T BUS H YT M E TH Recent Australian research demonstrates that over 1 in 5 Australian’s believe that family violence can be excused if the violent person later regrets it (www.vichealth.gov.au/ncas). Attitudes such as this lead to opportunities for challenging our own values and beliefs. This conference aims to improve your understanding of the causes of family violence, bust the myths and link the relationship between family violence prevention and responses. Under the witty guidance of Clementine Ford, journalist for The Age and active feminist, you will experience a range of views and examples of how family violence is in fact preventable. entine Clem Ford – “Family Violence is a National Emergency” Daniel Andrews (The Chronicle, 21/01/2015) Family Violence - Busting the Myth Conference Tuesday 12 May 2015 Lakeside, Benalla 9am – 4pm (includes lunch) $40.00 per person (Sponsored places may be made available – please call Tammy) Guest Speakers ● Elizabeth Broderick, Sex Discrimination Commissioner ● Rosie Batty, Australian of the Year 2015 ● ● Rodney Vlais, No To Violence Mr John O’Callaghan, Magistrate (Hume Region) Register here Further information Ph: Tammy Smith on 0357 223009 Email: [email protected] Web: http://benallafvconferencemay2015.eventbrite.com.au INTEGRATED FAMILY VIOLENCE SERVICES Women, men and children GOULBURN OVENS MURRAY (w) 0357 223009 (m) 0437 565247 www.familyviolencehumeregion.com.au Batty Rosie n of lia Austra ear the Y 2015
