Our #SafeKoorieFamilies campaign was developed to promote conversations in Community about everyday examples of family violence.
Family violence exists in many different forms – it may be physical, emotional, sexual, cultural, psychological or economic abuse. While family violence disproportionately affects Aboriginal families, it is important to understand that family violence is not part of indigenous culture.
Use these videos and downloadable resources to start conversations in classrooms, group sessions, and community forums about the effect violence has on children, young people and families.
