2025 Lived Experience Advisory Group Workshops

👥 The CAWLS Education Team will be resuming ‘Lived Experience Advisory Group Workshops‘ from February 2025. We would like to welcome and encourage new members who have a lived experience of family, domestic and sexual violence who are interested in contributing to a project aiming to improve the experience of accessing primary care for victim/survivors.

While there are ongoing efforts to address DFSV in the NT, there remains a need for improved training and resources for health workers. Your insights can help bridge these gaps and enhance support for those affected by violence 🤝
