20.01.2022 Everyone can do something ... One way to change the story of domestic and family violence can be as simple as calling out disrespect when you see it or hear it. This could be calling out sexist jokes or comments with your mates or work colleagues.... Be an active bystander. SHOW its not ok, Show SUPPORT to the person experiencing disrespect and SPEAK UP. Of course doing something doesnt mean putting yourself in harm's way. Always keep yourself safe. If unsure, find a different way or another time to approach the topic when you feel comfortable and safe to do so. Seek advice if you need further support. For advice OR support, phone 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) or phone Safe Steps on 1800 015 188. #dosomething #DoingNothingDoesHarm

19.01.2022 Elder Abuse is a form of family violence and is never ok! The abuse can take many different forms including financial, physical, sexual, psychological and emotional. It can also involve deliberate social isolation or neglect. Everyone has the right to be respected, live in safety and to make their own decisions.... Some older people are denied these rights, often by the people who are closest to them. If you or someone you know is experiencing elder abuse, we are here to help everyone involved. #TogetherForRespectAtHome For more information and support contact: 1800 RESPECT DVRCV Elder Abuse Hotline 1800 44 11 69 or visit https://www.dvrcv.org.au/elder-abuse-hotline Seniors Rights Victoria https://seniorsrights.org.au/your-rights/ Relationships Australia Victoria 1300 364 277 Local Support: Gippsland Lakes Complete Health (GLCH) Family Violence Team - 5152 0013 Gippsland & East Gippsland Aboriginal Cooperative - Family Violence Services - 5153 0125 Yoowinna Wurnalung Aboriginal Healing Service (YWAHS) A range of Family Violence & Therapeutic Services - 4110 2100 Omeo District Health Social Worker - 5159 0136 Orbost Regional Health Family Violence Outreach Support - 5154 6666 If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 000

17.01.2022 There has been many challenges that we have faced together during 2020. Over the coming weeks your local organisations want to share with you a series of posts that were put together by a collective of organisations in the Eastern Region of Melbourne, that promote ways to stay safe, healthy, connected and respectful at home. Stress, anxiety and frustration are all normal responses during this time, however they are never an excuse for violence. All people deserve to live fre...e from fear and family violence and #TogetherForRespectAtHome is asking us to choose kindness, compassion and respect while we get through this together.
