Sharing lived experience can be a powerful way of engaging audiences and sharing messages to promote change. These experiences tap into human emotions and the values that drive ideas and actions. Supporting victim survivors to share their lived experience is commonly done to raise awareness of family and gender-based violence and encourage action through primary prevention efforts. How can we ensure that messages are authentic, and that the practices used to collect and share lived experiences are safe and ethical? 

Through an interactive panel with survivor advocates, this session will focus on the ways in which prevention practitioners can safely work with victim survivors of family violence to inform prevention messaging and activities.

This workshop will be live captioned.

Please note all workshops require pre-registration and are capped at 30 per workshop.

Facilitators: Conor Pall, Dr Amar Freya, Jay & Kym Valentine
