Advanced Certificate in Domestic & Family Violence Support

You want to help, but don't know the right way to support someone safely.

😟

You're afraid of saying the wrong thing, causing more harm, or not knowing how to respond when someone discloses abuse.

🗺️

The legal, housing, and support systems are a maze. You're not sure how to guide someone through it all effectively.

🔋

This work is demanding. You worry about burnout and how to care for yourself while caring for others in a sustainable way.

A different approach

Learn in a way that works for you

Every lesson comes in five formats: text, audio, video, slides, and an AI tutor. If you get stuck or have a question, you can just ask your tutor. It explains concepts in a way that makes sense for you.

Your AI tutor, on every lesson

Unlike other online courses where you're left reading slides alone, every lesson comes with an AI tutor built in. It explains concepts in plain language, answers your follow-up questions, quizzes you to check understanding, and walks you through real scenarios.

You
The course mentions 'safety planning'. Can you give me a practical example of what that involves? I'm not sure what it looks like day-to-day.
AI Tutor
Of course. A practical safety plan might involve helping a client identify a safe place to go in an emergency, packing a grab bag with essentials, and securing their online accounts. It's about creating a personalised strategy to increase their safety, whether they are planning to leave or staying in the situation. A key part is risk assessment, which helps decide what needs to be in the plan. Would you like me to explain the difference between a safety plan for someone staying versus someone leaving?
