The Be There Group is dedicated to empowering individuals to create a safer, more equitable workplace by addressing relevant legislation regarding unacceptable behaviors through interactive and engaging workshops. Embracing the philosophy of "when you know better, you do better," our most popular workshop fosters reflection on personal contributions to workplace culture and encourages harnessing personal leadership to cultivate a positive environment.

Learning Outcomes:

• Personal Leadership: Explore the concept of leadership and recognise the pivotal role that every employee plays as a personal leader in shaping workplace dynamics.

• Diversity, Inclusion, Respect: Delve into the meanings of these essential terms, examine our individual beliefs about them, and identify tangible actions to contribute to a diverse, inclusive, and respectful workplace.

We will unpack personal accountability, provide essential language and tools for responding to disclosures, and discuss the difference between the impact and intention of our actions.

After a decade of delivering workshops on diversity, equity, inclusion, cultural change, and violence prevention, the number one question we receive is, "But why?" In response, we are proud to introduce our program, Cultural Change: Gender Equality. This initiative empowers individuals to become personal leaders in the prevention of gender-based violence by understanding how seemingly harmless behaviors—such as jokes and language—can contribute to a culture that enables significant forms of violence. Trust us when we say, this is the program your staff truly wants to know more about; it’s the course that has the potential to change lives.

​

Learning Outcomes:

This Cultural Change program equips workplaces with the knowledge and tools to actively prevent gender-based violence by addressing its root causes. Participants will explore the critical link between gender inequality and the key drivers of violence against women, gaining insights into how these factors contribute to the alarming rates of Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) in Australia today.

Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of their role in preventing gender-based violence, both within their organisations and in the wider community. By promoting gender equality, workplaces can play a vital role in reducing DFV and creating safer environments for all.

Learning Outcomes:

With over two decades of experience within the prison system, behaviour change programs, the women’s domestic violence crisis sector, and the parole system, our team stands out as leaders in the field. We understand the holistic needs necessary to effect meaningful change. Having listened to and learned from thousands of individuals—both those who have been harmed and those who have caused harm—we believe this conversation is essential to addressing the national crisis of violence against women. If your organisation aims to support staff and their families facing domestic and family violence, this is the program for you.

While other programs often focus on individual victim or survivor stories, our approach examines the common thread of power and control that underpins all domestic and family violence. This four-hour workshop is specifically designed to equip front-line staff with a comprehensive understanding of the nuances of coercive control. Participants will explore how coercive control functions as a form of psychological and emotional abuse—often hidden yet profoundly damaging to victims and their families.

By centering the experiences of victims and their children and applying a trauma-informed lens, this training empowers professionals to better identify, understand, and respond to coercive control. In doing so, we foster a more compassionate and effective approach to addressing domestic and family violence and sexual violence in Australia.
