Learn how to deliver the “Talk to Them” training

The Youth Coalition of the ACT and the ACT Government – Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Office (DFSVO) are seeking expressions of interest from individuals to learn how to deliver “Talk to Them” training to youth workers. As a trained facilitator, you will be delivering this two day training, which is coordinated through the Youth Coalition.

The ‘Talk to Them’ training aims to support youth workers with the knowledge and confidence needed to open a conversation with young people about DFV. Youth workers are trusted people that young people engage with for support. This training will increase the capability of youth workers to understand, recognise and respond to DFV issues, safely refer the young person and/or family to specialist DFV services, and continue to support them as they navigate the specialist DFV support system. This training was developed for youth workers, and is also delivered to other professions who work directly with young people.

We are seeking expressions of interest from people with:

Essential

• At least 2 years’ experience of working with young people who have been subject to DFV
• Possess a valid ACT Working with Vulnerable People registration and a satisfactory National Police Check.
• Have completed the “Talk to Them” training
  
  

Desirable

• Demonstrated experience as a trainer or facilitator
• Relevant qualifications, capabilities, expertise or sector connections
• Demonstrated understanding of the dynamics of DFV and its impacts on children, young people and their families.
  
  

If you have any questions about delivering the training or any other questions, contact thomas@youthcoalition.net or call 02 6247 3540.
