💪 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗢𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 💪 "STRONGER TOGETHER" is a weekly column where IMPACT Community Services Managing Director, Tanya O'Shea, explores key issues. This week Tanya discusses the National Rally Against Violence, where our community gathered over the weekend at Lions Park in North Bundaberg to unite against violence and declare that it has no place in our lives, homes, or hearts. "The National Rally Against Violence isn't just about making noise; it's about demanding meaningful change. As a community, we are calling for: 1️⃣ Mandatory Trauma-Informed Training for All Frontline Workers: Equipping them to respond with empathy and understanding, addressing survivors’ needs. 2️⃣ Increased Funding for Grassroots Organisations: Local organisations play a critical role in combating violence. More funding means expanded reach and impactful change."
