Course Description
Recording 1: Presentation by Professor Susan Rees
Professor Susan Rees shared research related to the refugee-specific and universal factors that place women at risk from Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) or Interpersonal Violence (IPV). She outlined the psychological therapies that are recognised as useful in working with women with prior histories of conflict-trauma that prioritise the women’s own goals and needs, consider their cultural and religious beliefs, and recognise the stages and non-linear pathways that women may take to achieve safety from violence and recovery.
