RACGP Overcoming Barriers for Addressing DFV

Posted Monday 06 May 2024 | Safer Families Centre of Research Excellence

Domestic and family violence (DFV) is common with one in three women being subjected to DFV worldwide. However, there are significant barriers to help-seeking by survivors, and identification of DFV by health providers. This RACGP webinar aims to give participants an understanding of the barriers faced by both survivors and health practitioners and how these may be overcome, as well as outlining the expectations that survivors have from health practitioners and a model for health practitioners’ readiness to address DFV.

Speakers for this webinar include Dr Jennifer Neil, GP and Educator with The University of Melbourne and Monash University, and A/Prof Laura Tarzia of the Department of General Practice, The University of Melbourne.
