Mentors in Violence Prevention Week

Mossman Rotary is proud to be hosting Dr.Shannon Murdoch from Griffith University in October to present interactive workshops in violence prevention for the Mossman High School staff, students, sporting clubs and other community members. Mentors in Violence Prevention is a highly interactive leadership program focused on preventing all forms of violence. The program views all participants as empowered bystanders who can confront, interrupt or prevent violence. It seeks to enlist all people in the fight against violence by equipping them with the skills to be effective bystanders. What makes MVP unique?

• the training provides the context necessary to empower participants to be proactive bystanders
• the program is discussion-based to make training sessions dynamic and interactive.
• You Can Prevent Violence training sessions are not lectures
• it utilizes teaching materials including Playbooks which consist of realistic scenarios involving various forms of violence
• Mentors in Violence Prevention works with men and women in both mixed and single gender sessions
• the staff create a “safe space” for participants to learn from one another
