the help they need.
· Explore the additional issues for women from marginalised groups.
· Examine and unpack the responsibility for violence using the power and control model.

The day is aimed at staff in any agency who may be called upon to support, advise, treat, or otherwise assist a woman experiencing violence from a man she knows.
One Day Training: Working with young people to address violence in teenage relationships
Date: Thursday 20th June 2013:9:45-4:00; Venue: Central London; Fee: £150
This practical and hands-on training day will equip participants with a clear understanding of the key issues of abuse and violence in relationships and actively examine how drama techniques can be used to engage young people in these issues whilst unlocking meaningful dialogue around them. Tried and tested in a range of youth settings including schools, youth centres and pupil referral units, these exercises have proven to be an extremely successful method to reach young people. Facilitators with a wealth of experience in delivering issue-based projects will deliver the training. This training will:
· Give participants a theoretical understanding of different types of abuse, the excuses perpetrators give and the extraordinary pressure on
victims to stay in abusive relationships through our gendered model.
· Practically explore exercises that can be used to engage young people.
· Explore how the activities can be applied in a variety of youth settings, and learn effective techniques for engaging and encouraging
young people to participate.
· Trouble shoot particular barriers participants have encountered when carrying out this kind of violence prevention work.
The day is aimed at professionals working directly with young people. Participants do not need to have previous experience of drama or
theatre to take part in the day.
