One woman is murdered every 4 days on average in Australia, with countless women and children experiencing trauma from the impacts of current and past violence.*

This, along with a litany of other disturbing statistics, is what Berry Street is fighting to stamp out.

So, how is Berry Street addressing the escalating crisis? To find out, host Richelle Hunt talks to Mandy Gambino, Senior Manager for Family Violence Services in Berry Street’s Western Region of Victoria and Jac Dwyer, Project Lead for Family Violence in Berry Street’s Northern Region of Victoria.

Both women, along with their teams provide support to victim-survivors and advocate for equal rights, opportunities and protections for all genders. Jac in particular, also works with perpetrators to try and understand and stem the flow of abuse.

While there are many factors at play, ultimately the root causes of coercive control and abuse in our communities need to be addressed to ensure that family violence, in all forms, is not tolerated.

For nearly 150 years Berry Street has dedicated itself to keeping children, young people and families safe, thriving and hopeful. Yet today, in Australia, rates of family violence, abuse and neglect are higher than ever before.

Join Richelle Hunt, ABC radio presenter, host of the Conversation Hour, and now host of the Stories from Berry Street Podcast, to find out why, and to explore the work Berry Street is doing to create real change.

Richelle talks to some of the most dedicated people at Berry Street about how they're addressing issues like childhood trauma, family violence and providing safe homes and schools. 

These problems are hard and they're real, but they're also too easy to ignore. Raising healthy, happy children and keeping them safe, takes a village. So, what's needed and how can we all play a part?
