Very informative workshops run by highly educated trainers. I love their empathetic approach and their focus on letting the women to lead their journeys.
Training participant
I attended the Level 1 - Introductory Training at Shine. It was an extremely informative day. The trainers were great; providing good resources and challenging material for consideration. Attendee participation, questions and discussion were encouraged, making it not only a useful training, but also an enjoyable day.
Training participant
Excellent training packed with practical knowledge blended with the latest research. The facilitators were friendly, welcoming, inspiring, and very good at guiding us through the course. I think everyone should do the family violence courses given the prevalence of this issue in our communities. Together we can create the changes we want to see and uplift one another.
Training participant
Attended the shine level 2 & 3 training, Level 3 was amazing and very informative. Guest speakers were amazing, I learnt so much and now I have a better understanding of how I can incorporate the entrapment model into my practise.
