Rainbow Communities and Family Violence: E2E Essential Level

ECLIPSE's Rainbow Communities and Family Violence introduces you to the dynamics of family violence that our Rainbow & Takatāpui people can experience. Concepts relating to violence outsides of the gendered norm, gender identity and expression, deficit societal norms and myths, and the importance of appropriately informed sectoral and practice response.

Description

About the Course

ECLIPSE's Rainbow Communities and Family Violence online course introduces you to the specific dynamics of family violence experienced by rainbow and takatāpui people.

We require better understanding of our Rainbow and Takatāpui Peoples in order to better support the diverse needs of communities and provide safer and more dignity enhancing practice response.

Through completing this online course, you will have a greater understanding of the following E2E capabilities:

  • Personal values and beliefs in relation to sexual orientation, gender-identity and expression, and sex characteristics.
  • Societal attitudes and behaviours that discriminate towards people from the LGBTQIA+ communities.
  • Some forms of family violence that are outside the gendered dynamic of family (e.g. abuse experienced by LGBTQIA+ people).
  • Societal norms, attitudes and myths that render LGBTQIA+ people who experience sexual harm invisible.
  • The different dynamics of family violence that may be experienced by people from the LGBTQIA+ communities.
  • The range of specialist services and agencies available to people from the LGBTQIA+ community.
  • Collaborative practice

This course is one of five Diversity workshops that ECLIPSE is offering, that cover the E2E Essential level capabilities relating to Diverse Communities.

ECLIPSE training courses align with the principles of Te Aorerekura: National Strategy to Eliminate Family Violence and Sexual Violence and have been mapped by Te Puna Aonui to ensure that the Essential level capabilities of the Entry to Expert Family Violence Workforce Capability Framework have been met.
