May is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month. And with 25% of those who come to The Separation Guide for help experiencing some sort of violence or abuse, it is a very real barrier to many trying to leave relationships. In this episode, White Ribbon Australia Acting Director Dean Cooper and Coordinator of Counselling Services Zoe Hughes join host Sabina Read to shed light on the many types of violence and abuse happening in Australian homes. With some practical tips for how to find help and navigate a safe path through, for both women and men, this episode is a vital resource for anyone who finds themselves - or someone they know - trapped in an abusive situation. It also discusses available help for potential perpetrators who may realise that their behaviour makes others feel unsafe, but don't know what steps to take to make a change. Along with a call out to society at large to take note and speak up when they witness acts of disrespect. As we learn in this episode - not all disrespect leads to violence, but all violence begins with disrespect. As the number of Australian women who have died at the hands of male violence reaches 24 so far this year, this is a vital conversation that needs to be had - and heard.For more information about how you can help make a change this Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, visit The Separation Guide's I Care About Conflict campaign at https://icareaboutconflict.com/

Last year, South Australia convened a Royal Commission into Family Violence amid concern about a spike in domestic violence related assaults and deaths across the country. It's estimated that in Australia, one woman is killed by an intimate partner every 11 days. And across Australia, just over 1 in 4 women experience partner violence or abuse, while for men it's 1 in 7. In this episode of the Too Hard Basket, we explore just what evidence the Royal Commission is uncovering about how public officials respond to this violence, and the effectiveness of the institutions meant to protect victims.

In this illuminating episode of the #SiblingsToo podcast, hosted by Nancy Morris, Anais Vanvliet returns to discuss her groundbreaking research on the experiences of non-abused, non-abuser siblings within families affected by child sexual abuse. Anais shares her passion for highlighting the often-overlooked impacts on these siblings, driven by her personal and professional commitment to the subject matter. Nancy and Anais delve into the critical need for more focused research and policy changes to address the gaps in support systems.   Diving deeper, Anais outlines her research's core questions, which explore both the experiences of these siblings and the current service provisions—or lack thereof—for them in Canada, particularly in Quebec and New Brunswick. She highlights the unique challenges and emotional impacts these siblings face, including feelings of isolation and jealousy, and the importance of trauma-informed approaches when engaging with them. Anais also touches on the broader conversation around sibling relationships in the context of family violence, emphasizing the need for comprehensive support systems and policy advocacy.   About our guest, Anais Vanvliet: Anais Vanvliet is a PhD candidate in the School of Social Work at McGill University, focusing on the experiences and support needs of siblings in households where child sexual abuse (CSA) has occurred. Anais brings a unique perspective to her research with her lived experience as a sibling of survivors and her professional background as a trained social worker in sexual violence. Her work aims to enhance awareness, policy, and support systems for siblings affected by family violence in Canada.     Key Takeaways:   *   The sibling dynamic in CSA-affected households is under-researched, leading to insufficient support for non-abused, non-abuser siblings. *   Anais aims to fill this research gap by focusing on these siblings' experiences and potential support needs. *   The impacts on these siblings can mirror those of the survivors, with additional unique challenges like feelings of exclusion. *   Current service provisions often overlook these siblings, highlighting a need for advocacy and policy changes. *   Anais's research seeks to provide data-driven insights to improve awareness and service provision for siblings affected by CSA and family violence.   Notable Quotes:   1.  "All siblings in the household can be deeply impacted by sibling sexual abuse or child sexual abuse generally, even if they're not directly involved." 2.  "There's really no research or very, very, very little on the experiences of siblings surrounding child sexual abuse in a family." 3.  "My work hopefully will help to kind of fill those gaps." 4.  "If someone is missing in the conversation, the conversation is missing." 5.  "The timing is right to do this work because in Canada, we are slowly starting to pay closer attention to siblings in the context of family violence."   Resources:   *   Contact Anais Vanvliet via email anais.cadieuxvanvliet@mcgill.ca for participants interested in her research. *   Mention of the scoping review by Peter Yates and Amy Adams on sibling sexual abuse -https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0145213424004666   Explore the full episode to gain an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of sibling relationships in CSA-affected households and to learn more about the vital research being conducted by Anais Vanvliet.
