Children and Young People Impacted by Fatal Family Violence
Who should attend: Any professionals working with children and young people impacted by family violence.
The loss of a parent due to fatal family violence has a profound and lifelong impact on the children and young people left behind. Until now, there has been no single place that collates credible, child-centred tools and resources to drive practice.
The University of Melbourne’s Homicide at Home Research Group has led action research dedicated to understanding and improving outcomes for children and young people impacted by fatal family violence. In partnership with this research team, the Centre’s OPEN Team are launching a new online Spotlight Page, bringing this work together in one accessible place, combining evidence, lived experience insight and practical tools. This event will also be the official launch of children’s picture book, co‑created with people with lived experience and practitioners, designed to support family, therapeutic and classroom use.
The Centre, NTV, SASVic and Safe and Equal are collaborating on the Family Violence Sexual Violence Project to deliver this event.
