The Five Essential Discussion Tools support those working with men who use family violence to help them understand their emotions and how they are linked to their violent and abusive behaviours.
The training package has undergone an extensive review, and we are now offering two new packages. Each package includes practical strategies that practitioners can use to engage meaningfully with men to help them moderate their behaviour and keep their families and communities safer.
The Five Essential Discussion Tools training packages are available as free, three hour, online facilitated sessions, delivered via Zoom.
- The Five Essential Discussion Tools
For practitioners who are new to the field or have not explored de-escalation techniques in their work.
The original package has been revised to include foundational knowledge about the importance of interrupting harmful behaviour and includes content on coercive control and the importance of not viewing family violence as incident based and/or a one off event.
Includes a video activity which will support practitioners to identify invitations to collude, reframing of passive language and safety planning.

- Enhanced – The Five Essential Discussion Tools
For practitioners who have engaged with these ideas before, the enhanced package expands upon the original package and introduces some new topics and practice considerations.
The enhanced package offers an opportunity to refresh and deepen practitioner knowledge by:
- expanding on the underlying theories that support the tools
- supporting learning around the theory of behaviour change and brain plasticity; and identifying and responding to invitations to collude
Includes an audio case study following the journey of a ‘practitioner’ explaining the benefits of the tools to a ‘client’.
