Michael checks in with Thorne Harbour Health’s Family Violence team worker Jesse to talk about how our community responds to intimate partner and family violence. 2020 has been a particularly stressful year for many and forced many of us into close quarters – not always in safe settings.
We discuss what resources are available to support people experiencing or using family violence, and what techniques to utilise if you need to chat to a friend or family member.
