DPV Health

DPV Health Stands Against Family Violence. Today, our team proudly joined the Walk Against Family Violence to honour victim-survivors, raise awareness and advocate for a future free from violence. At the walk, the DPV Health team carried messages about how every one of us can make a difference by Stepping Up for Equality. Over the coming weeks, the Step Up for Equality campaign will be rolled out across different platforms, including social media, settings-based initiatives, and wider community engagement activities. The campaign provides gender-equity and preventing gender-based violence information to community members and organisations and will provide practical advice on how to lead and take action to promote healthy, safe, and respectful attitudes and behaviours in our local communities. At DPV Health, we believe in fostering respect, equality, and dignity for all. Our commitment extends beyond health services—we stand united to challenge violence, promote healthy relationships, and create lasting change. Together, we can build a future where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported. #16DOA @Don Tidbury @Rick Jackson @Annie Carnell @Anita Craike @Emlyn Jenkins @Anna Lemcke @Lucy Forwood @Elizabeth Sleeth @Whitney E.
