Purple Space Champion Training - To Disrupt Domestic Abuse

Join us Come join us at WNC Bridge Foundation for a full-day immersive training session designed to equip compassionate individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to become a Purple Space Champion in the workplace. This training is for those who want to make a real difference in the lives of their colleagues by creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals affected by domestic abuse.

About the Training
The Purple Space Champions Training empowers participants to understand and address the complexities of domestic abuse within a professional setting. Through expert-led sessions and interactive discussions, you will learn about the various forms of domestic abuse—including physical, emotional, financial, and psychological abuse—and how they impact victims both at home and in the workplace.

As a Purple Space Champion, you will gain the skills to:

  • Recognize the Signs of Domestic Abuse: Identify subtle and overt signs of abuse, understand the barriers victims face in seeking help, and learn how domestic abuse impacts mental health, job performance, and overall well-being.
  • Provide Compassionate Support: Develop empathetic communication skills to create a safe, non-judgmental space where colleagues feel comfortable sharing their experiences if they choose to do so. This training will guide you in actively listening to victims, respecting their privacy, and acknowledging their courage.
  • Direct to Appropriate Resources: Learn about the resources and support systems available for those affected by domestic abuse. You’ll be trained to connect colleagues to local charities, counseling services, and other professional support in your area, ensuring they get the help they need.
  • Understand Your Role as a Champion: As a volunteer Champion, you will play a critical role in fostering a workplace culture where employees know that support is available if needed. Your presence as a Purple Space Champion sends a powerful message that your workplace values safety, respect, and dignity for all.

Who Should Attend?
This training is ideal for HR professionals, managers, team leads, and any employee who feels called to support colleagues affected by domestic abuse. No prior experience is required—just a commitment to learning and to promoting a safe, supportive workplace culture.

What to Expect
The day will include in-depth presentations, role-playing exercises, group discussions, and resource-sharing sessions led by experienced trainers and advocates in the field. You will leave this training with actionable skills, a resource kit, and the confidence to support colleagues and help create a safer workplace environment.

Together, Let’s Foster Safe Spaces at Work
By becoming a Purple Space Champion, you are taking a courageous step to stand with victims of domestic abuse and build a community of support. Join us to make a lasting impact and to help create workplaces where everyone feels safe and supported.
