Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month is held anually during May to:
- raise community awareness about domestic and family violence (DFV)
- promote the support options available to people experiencing DFV
- uphold a clear message that DFV will not be tolerated in our communities.
Here at UQ, to mark this month and increase awareness of available support for those experiencing DFV, we will be:
- Introducing face-to-face training to equip supervisors/managers to support staff experiencing DFV.
- Offering a face-to-face workshop on coercive control, to enable students and staff to better understand what coercive control is, provide an overview of the incoming coercive control legislation in Queensland, and provide information on support options for people experiencing coercive control.
- Holding an awareness raising event for LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day on the 28th May 2024.
You can find more information about DFV Prevention Month, along with information about where to get support for DFV, on the Queensland Government website below.
