Champions of Change to address domestic and family violence

Published on 02 December 2024

Council’s commitment to the prevention and elimination of domestic and family violence continues as the Champions of Change event was held last Saturday, 30 November at Campbelltown Civic Hall.

The event, delivered in partnership with Campbelltown City Council, NSW Council for Pacific Communities and the South West Multicultural Community Centre, brought an interactive workshop designed to support community leaders in their response to domestic and family violence.

“Our Domestic and Family Violence Strategy outlines a strong commitment to supporting those impacted in our community,” said Mayor Darcy Lound.

”Champions of Change demonstrates that commitment and how we can unite and take action to prevent and eliminate domestic and family violence,” said Cr Lound.

Guest speakers, Matt and Sarah Brown, authors of New Zealand’s bestselling book and activist organisation, She Is Not Your Rehab, led the half day trauma-informed, interactive workshop and inspired participants to embrace empathy and courage when responding to domestic and family violence in the community.
