This is a
paper that is reporting on research conducted that was then used to create a
resource guide on the domestic violence services available to the Nepean region
in New South Wales Australia. Please only use data and information relevant to
the location context of NSW Australia and the region of Nepean (which includes
ST Marys, and Penrith) and Blue Mountains All further information
is provided in the word document attached. Attached is the research proposal
which provides context. The aim of the report has changed since then as it
is now focused on domestic violence services rather than mulitcultural
services. Also attached is the initial research on statistics in the area for
multicultural backgrounds. if you area able to incorporate this somehow please
do.
The government and
healthcare facilities have established programs to offer domestic violence
services and help mitigate the NWS region's physical, emotional, sexual, or
psychological abuse. The study will be crucial to social workers, the criminal
justice system, and domestic violence service providers as it creates a
holistic perspective of the rate of domestic violence among the CALD group in
the Nepean and blue mountain region. The literature review indicates that
although there are various domestic violence services, CALD members rarely seek
the services, and this is due to fear of discrimination, stereotyping, and
stigma. However, there are programs established to enhance the well-being of
the aboriginals in NSW in case of domestic violence, such as the Women's
Domestic Violence Court Assistance Scheme (WDVCAS) and Women's Health NSW
organization. The study should be completed within two months.
