Season 4 Trailer: Changing the story in our communities

Domestic and family violence affects every community in Australia. We know the scale of the problem. We know more about what drives it. And we know prevention is possible. So why haven't we solved it? In Season 4 of the Run Against Violence podcast, founder Kirrily Dear goes beyond the headlines to explore what preventing domestic and family violence actually looks like in practice. Across the season, Kirrily talks with researchers, community leaders and people doing the work on the ground. We'll explore the scale of the problem with researcher Professor Tim Moore, examine the cultural drivers that allow violence to take root, and hear from people like Lou Hayes who are showing what community-led prevention can look like in regional towns, migrant communities and communities right across Australia. Because real change doesn't happen through awareness alone. It happens when communities decide what they will and won't accept, and then start doing something about it. Each episode asks three simple questions: What is the problem?What does the solution look like?And what part can I play? Imagine if one day we could look back on domestic and family violence the way we now look back on smoking in classrooms, on planes and on buses. Imagine being able to say: We don't accept domestic and family violence here anymore. That's the kind of change we're working towards. Season 4 starts Tuesday, 25 August. Follow the Run Against Violence podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, or visit runagainstviolence.com to find out more. One person can start a revolution. What part will you play?

From Trauma to Triumph: Overcoming Abuse and Addiction

Tarsha Jones is a proud Gomeroi woman who only learned of her Aboriginal heritage when she was a teenager. She opens up to Patty Kikos about how family violence impacted her life when her brother was hit by a drunk driver that caused him to have frontal lobe damage, and was ultimately drug addicted for 25 years. When Tarsha left her emotionally abusive husband who was an alcoholic, she never expected that her life would turn upside down. But that it would then become the right way up after she completed a TAFE course, changed careers, and after much deep listening and unexpected soul searching fro both her and her husband, found their way back to each other - in a much healthier way.

Desistence: How It's Transforming Attitudes Towards Family Violence

The fabulous Dr Hayley Boxall shines a light on family and partner violence by teaching us about "desistance", and practical ways that we can encourage people to stop choosing to use violence. In this refreshingly down to earth interview with Patty Kikos, Hayley talks about the importance of 'respect' for different cultures, valid reasons people choose to remain in relationships, how violence is not limited to lower socio economic environments and why pressuring someone to 'just leave', won't necessarily solve their problems.

From Financial Fallout, To Freedom

Tarryn Cherniayeff shares her extraordinary story of empowerment with Patty Kikos. From relinquishing control and access to her own money to uncovering her ex’s gambling addiction and ice pipe. None of that was as shocking as the money he’d stolen or the amount of loans he’d taken out in her name. While the financial fallout is not quite over, Tarryn has found incredible ways to experience freedom, heal, love, thrive, be independent, and live life on her terms.
