Dr Brian Sullivan brings over 20 years of expertise as an academic, professional practitioner, trainer, supervisor, and educator in the domestic violence sector, both in Australia and internationally. With a foundation in the Duluth coordinated community approach to working with perpetrators, Brian has been a facilitator of men’s programs for many years. His PhD research, completed in the USA, explored the effectiveness of court-mandated programs for male domestic violence offenders.

In addition to his extensive academic background, Brian has contributed his knowledge as a Domestic Violence (DV) Intervention consultant with the Australian Institute of Criminology, the ABC on DV reporting in the Media, Indigenous Services and Men’s DV Intervention programs. He is also a member of the QLD Police Service Domestic and Family Violence Advisory Committee.

In this webinar, Brian shares his wealth of knowledge, which significantly impacts much of our family law practice. He discusses the mindset and behaviours of perpetrators, key considerations when engaging with alleged perpetrators and victims of domestic violence, and the advantages and limitations of men’s behavioural change programs.
