As part of the Connecting Communities Project, The Multicultural Centre for Women's Health and Safe and Equal have partnered to develop a short guide Supporting Prevention Practitioners in Multicultural and Faith-Based Communities, designed for decision-makers and managers supporting primary prevention practitioners working in multicultural and faith-based communities.
Working in primary prevention is rewarding, and many people from the Connecting Communities network have shared how their work makes them feel inspired and motivated. However, working to end family violence and to create major social and structural change can also take a toll. A focus on worker wellbeing and sustainability will support prevention practitioners and organisations in their work to prevent family and gender-based violence and achieve our shared vision of safe, connected and thriving communities.
This resource presents four key lessons on how to support practitioner wellbeing. These lessons summarise discussions within the Connecting Communities network across workshops, trainings and Communities of Practice about what would make a meaningful difference to their wellbeing.
Connecting Communities is a partnership between Multicultural Centre for Women's Health and Safe and Equal, and is supported by the Victorian Government.
