Resources for Family Violence & Child and Family Services Workers

If you are a Family Violence (FV) specialist or a Child & Family Services  worker and a client requires/requests counselling/group work –

  • you may be able to manage these in the context of your role
  • you may need to access additional resources on counselling/group work
  • you many wish to have secondary consults with a counsellor or service provider
  • you may need to refer your client to a counselling service or a group service provider

Across the Bayside Peninsula many organisations offer therapeutic work through group sessions that focus on a particular theme.

There are a number of organisations that are funded to provide family violence counselling in the Bayside Peninsula region, with all referrals to be made via The Orange Door

Various counselling and group services are available in Bayside Peninsula and across Victoria that you can refer a client to – visit the Groups page for referral details.

If you are a counsellor and a client discloses that they are experiencing family violence (FV) or you believe FV is an issue, you need to be able to respond appropriately – visit our Understanding Family Violence page to learn about:

  • what FV is
  • how to identify FV
  • how to respond within Victoria’s MARAM Framework
  • understanding information sharing legislation
