Question 2

Why was the DARE Toolkit developed?

Accepted Answer

Individuals causing harm in their relationships frequently remain under the radar and their behaviour is often unchallenged. Professionals report feeling ill equipped to engage in conversations around abusive behaviour. As a result, we are missing valuable opportunities to support change.

Is DARE relevant if I don’t encounter perpetrators in my daily role?

Question 9

What is DARE?
