From time to time, Shine hosts seminars on topics relating to domestic abuse that are open to the public. These usually feature an expert from Shine, or from another New Zealand or overseas organisation who speaks on a featured topic. These seminars are usually most relevant for professionals in related fields or those studying to enter these professions.
For example, from 2009:
- Shine hosted a seminar featuring Chief Youth Court Judge Andrew Becroft, speaking about youth offending, and Deborah Mackenzie from Shine, speaking about her research on female domestic abuse offenders.
- Shine assisted the Hamilton Abuse Intervention Project with hosting the Lundy Bancroft seminar in August 2009, attended by more than 100 professionals. Lundy is a well-known author, workshop leader and consultant on domestic abuse and child maltreatment based in the U.S., with twenty years of experience specializing in interventions for abusive men and their families.
- Shine assisted the National Network of Stopping Violence Services with hosting the Michael Flood seminar in October 2009. Dr Michael Flood is a researcher, trainer and community educator from Australia. He has a long involvement in community advocacy and education work focused on men’s violence against women, and a research focus on the primary prevention of violence against women.
