- Developing the Love Bites program
| Love Bites is a new and exciting domestic and family violence and sexual assault program designed to be delivered in schools. Love Bites is a whole day workshop for senior school students promoting a clear and consistent community approach to domestic and family violence and sexual assault. IWCADV is in the process of developing a team of trained facilitators to deliver the program in local schools. Designed to be run by male and female facilitators from different community organisations, the project brings together people from diverse backgrounds to empower students with knowledge and skills in dealing with domestic violence personally and as part of a community. |  |
