White Ribbon survey Monash University respondents wanted

By Christina Mitchell

Many of you may be familiar with White Ribbon, the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end men’s violence against women and girls. Monash is proud to be one of the first Australian employers to be a White Ribbon accredited workplace, and to now be part of a pilot group applying for re-accreditation.

I am writing to [Monash University staff] to ask you to become involved in our collaboration with White Ribbon, by completing a 10-minute, White Ribbon survey. Your participation is a critical part of our re-accreditation process, and your responses will inform how we can remain a pioneer in achieving a zero tolerance to violence against women.

Further information on the campaign and the University’s commitment to a safe workplace for all staff can be found at our White Ribbon website: www.monash.edu/gender-equity/white-ribbon
Thank you in advance for your participation.

Kind regards,
Christina Mitchell
Dean, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences

13, 20 May 2015 Mind Your Family: Upskilling Health Practitioners on Family Violence

 

Mind Your Family: Upskilling Health Practitioners on Family Violence

Mind Your Family was launched in 2014 by the Monash Alfred Psychiatry research centre (MAPrc), and was specifically designed for GPs and allied health professionals who work within our community, who potentially encounter family violence through their work. This unique event proved to be a successful platform in providing health practitioners with the skills and confidence to identify, broach the issue of, and respond to family violence.

11 Oct conference to combat domestic violence

Professionals and the community need to work together to prevent domestic violence, says Professor Jayashri Kulkarni, Director of the Monash Alfred Psychiatry research centre. GPs, psychiatrists, the police, politicians, not-for-profits, and those in the legal system will meet to discuss ways to work together to recognise, manage and prevent domestic violence on 11 October at the "Mind your family" conference.
