In this episode, we sit down - virtually - on Zoom with Brianna Myors, Program Manager of Prevention and Education at Fvree, to discuss the vital work being done to combat domestic and family violence. Brianna shares insights into Fvree’s mission and the importance of prevention in breaking the cycle of abuse.
We also explore the HaiR-3Rs program, which equips hairdressers and beauty professionals with the tools to recognise, respond to, and refer clients experiencing family violence - turning salons into safe spaces where survivors can find support. This conversation builds on themes covered in our interview with Genevive Chadwick in Episode 51, where we discussed CPR Hair’s involvement in HaiR-3Rs and the beauty industry’s role in creating change.
Host Mel has personally completed the HaiR-3Rs training, gaining firsthand insight into the program’s impact and the critical role of education in empowering professionals to support those experiencing violence.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about education, prevention, and the power of community in ending family violence.
