From the Centre for Research & Education on Violence Against Women and Children Learning Network:
Join CREVAW for a webinar presentation, “Considering Children’s Perspectives on Contact with their Father in the context of Post-Separation Intimate Partner Violence” on Monday, March 9th from 1pm to 2:30pm EST. Register today!
This webinar will present findings from research on children’s experiences and perspectives regarding contact with their father in the context of post-separation intimate partner violence (IPV). We will begin by highlighting the importance of considering children’s views when making decisions about contact with their father and by identifying factors that support their meaningful participation. The webinar will also examine the conditions that help children feel safe and at ease in these situations. Finally, it will explore avenues for supporting a reparation process for children who have been exposed to IPV.
This Webinar will run in French with simultaneous English and American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation. A webinar recording will be made available after the webinar.
