Not In My House - Training Resource
BaptistCare's ‘Not In My House’ DVD vignettes and training manual were developed as a resource for educators involved in training workers to respond to domestic and family violence and for use in men’s behavioural change programs.
The Not In My House Training Resource is available via DVD or Manual. You can download the manual and order form here.
More Than Skin Deep
Sadly, when we scratch beneath the surface, we see that domestic violence often bruises beyond the skin.
More Than Skin Deep is BaptistCare’s initiative to educate on how you can recognise and respond to domestic violence.
Understand the many types of violence, and where you can find support, or how to respond to and refer someone you care about towards help.
