Run Against Violence

Listen, learn and talk - that's our route to ending family violence in our communities. Each year, starting 30 August, 1000s of runners and walkers from around the globe come together in teams of up to 20 people to participate in the Run Against Violence Virtual Team Challenge. The teams race each other online for 19 days, covering a route of 1300km. This podcast captures the very personal stories of the event participants. These stories inspire us all to be better people and play our role in the prevention of family violence.

As a Child Protection case worker, Brenton emphasises the power of deep listening and the need to show respect when in someone’s home.
