Consumer Experience Mapping – Men who Use Violence
The Persons Using Violence Working Group have formed an advisory group consisting of senior leaders from agencies who work with men who use violence. This advisory group have collaborated with Shantiworks to host focus groups with men who have accessed the service system to understand their experience as consumers. Shantiworks will compile a report following the focus groups, highlighting key insights, themes and learnings shared by the consumers. This report will inform future advocacy and strategic priorities of the SMFVRIC.
