Be an Advocate: Do you know for a fact that there is bullying taking place within your child’s school but the powers that be are in denial? This workshop explores the parameters of bullying existent within schools today. It helps you to identify how even those who have the power to control and put an end to it sustain bullying behaviors. It will provide you with advocacy skills so that you can go down to your local school and assist it to put a stop to the everyday bullying which drives our children to school failure, self-harm and even suicide.

Living without Violence 1: Group education for men and women who are concerned about violence and abuse within families, communities of work, communities and the nation.

Facilitator, Mentor & Counsellor

Jan T. Britten is a New Zealander of multiethnic heritage including Norwegian, English, Irish, Maori and five different Faith beliefs. Jan is an expert in Diversity Education, Counselling & Adult Mentoring. Jan started her career as a teacher and has spent the last 7 years working in the field of bullying cessation within schools with a focus on the cultural environment of schools and the systems that enable bullying by students and adults.

Previous work:

After leaving teaching in 1985 I firstly worked as a Community Activist specializing in assisting women throughout NZ to set up agencies to work in the field of Family Violence and Sexual Abuse cessation. Then I worked as the National Educator & Trainer for the National Collective of Independent Women’s Refuges. I also worked alongside of Rape Crisis Inc in four different districts and completed their training. In the 1980s I was a member of the Family Violence Prevention Co-coordinating Council and Regional Co-ordinator for the Council for Training and Education in the Social Services. In the 1990s I facilitated Leadership Training courses in India, Hong Kong and Thailand for people of the Asia-Pacific region.

As a result of travels throughout NZ, Australia and Asia I have a wide perspective on the lives of peoples immigrating to NZ and of New Zealanders themselves.

Personally, I have experienced racism, family violence, marital abuse, the sexual abuse of a child and loss of loved ones. These were bitter experiences: the grieving and the healing process was a lonely one therefore I have an understanding and empathy with personal pain.

It is my pleasure to assist and support you free of charge on-line. Fees negotiable for face-to-face seminars, workshops, mentoring, advocacy and counselling.
