Our unique training approach
ABOUT THE TRAINING
Our violence, discrimination and racism prevention training programs are the culmination of two decades of delivering training to diverse and varied populations around Australia.
Based on best practice, we teach people to become proactive bystanders who have the tools and understanding to step in and address problematic behaviour, prevent violence against women, racism and discrimination and promote equality. We present participants with real-world scenarios that enable them to put the MATE bystander intervention framework into practice.
As MATE sits within Griffith University’s Violence Research and Prevention Program, we have access to the latest research into the causes and consequences of violence, discrimination and racism as well as the best practice approaches to understanding, controlling and preventing it.
