1 in 5 adults will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. This statistic is more than a number—it’s a call to action.

This course will equip you with the knowledge to recognise signs of abuse, respond effectively, and provide support to victims. By the end of the course, you’ll be empowered to contribute to reducing domestic violence, whether in a personal, professional, or community setting.
