Practitioners strive to support all families in ways that are culturally appropriate and sensitive. However, in some situations, practitioners may feel uncertain about how to navigate cultural differences. This webinar supports practitioners to navigate conversations with children and families from cultures different to their own, and to maintain culturally sensitive practice.
Multicultural community services provide essential support to migrant and refugee women experiencing family violence, and new research is seeking to understand how effectively these services are integrated into the family violence service system as a whole. A new research project from the University of Melbourne, Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health and Whittlesea Community Connections would like to speak to:
- Specialist family violence workers
- Workers in multicultural services responsible for implementing family violence initiatives
- Workers in multicultural services responding to families impacted by family violence (e.g. settlement workers, bilingual health workers)
Interviews and focus groups will take approximately 60 and 90 minutes respectively at a convenient location or via Zoom. For more information, please contact Mary Stathopoulos or Jess Kirwan at the University of Melbourne.
