The Safer Families Centre at The University of Melbourne are pleased to announce the release of two new e-learning modules providing evidence-based knowledge and practical skills to engage early with LGBTQA+ people and women with a minority ethnic/racial background experiencing domestic and family violence (DFV).
LGBTQA+ people and ethnic/racial minority women experience high rates of DFV, and often face additional barriers to accessing appropriate support. Health care professionals have a very important role to play in proactively identifying and sensitively responding to these patients. These modules will help to address the learning needs around these groups and build the capacity of GPs and others working in primary care to support patients with experiences of domestic and family violence in a sensitive, respectful, and culturally responsive way.
The Recognising and responding to LGBTQA+ people impacted by DFV module supports primary care providers to identify and respond to LGBTQA+ people who are impacted by DFV and to provide safe, empathic, and effective care. Although LGBTQA+ people experience DFV at a rate equal to or greater than the general Australian population, LGBTQA+ survivors of DFV are less likely to seek help and/or to be linked with appropriate supports. GPs are in a unique position to address this gap. This module has been accredited through the RACGP for 1 hr EA and 0.5 hrs RP CPD. Enrol or learn more.
In the Recognising and responding to DFSV experienced by ethnic/racial minority women module, primary care providers will build their understanding of the context and impact of domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) for women of minority ethnic and racial backgrounds. You will develop your understanding of the skills, self-awareness, and whole of practice collaboration required to support these patients and to provide a culturally safe and help-seeking primary care environment for women from minority ethnic and racial backgrounds experiencing DFSV.
This module has been accredited through the RACGP for 1.5 hrs EA CPD. Enrol or learn more.
Both modules are free for primary care staff.
