Resources and Training

The Purple Friday shirt initiative, embraced by the NSW Clubs, symbolises our united stand against domestic violence. To support those wearing the shirt, we've provided essential information, links, and contact details, ensuring they feel comfortable and informed when offering a reassuring response to anyone who may approach them for support.

Follow My Lead

Follow My Lead is a resource that speaks from the voices of people with lived experience of domestic, family, and sexualised violence who need professionals and their social networks to be more prepared to respond in ways that upload their dignity and build on safety.

  • "How you respond to me when I share with you, and in the time that follows, matters significantly to me."

We highly suggest viewing the Follow My Lead 4-minute video below before wearing your purple shirt. This video will ensure that all who are wearing the Purple Shirts are educated, more informed, and ready to respond if someone reaches out for support.
