This Evidence to Practice session will discuss evidence from Australia on screening for domestic family violence (DFV) perpetration among male service users, including opportunities for risk assessment and referral pathways.
Following substantial domestic and family violence reforms in Australia, the identification of victim-survivors is increasingly embedded across service system responses. Comparatively, while men using DFV often have contact with many services, their use of DFV is often not identified.
Drawing on findings from a mixed-methods study with practitioners across mental health, alcohol and other drug (AOD), corrections and child protection services, this presentation explores barriers to and enablers of screening for DFV perpetration, conducting risk assessments and creating referral pathways for shared risk management.
About Evidence to Practice Sessions -these sessions are hosted by Te Puna Aonui business unit with the aim of supporting kaimahi, practitioners and policy makers to apply evidence in their work.
