How does separation impact family safety?

Exploring themes of Domestic and Family Violence , mental health, and family law systems.

Family Separation can be a  time of incredible stress, and is a risk factor in mental health, family violence, substance abuse, and suicide. This year’s Family Law Pathways Network Annual Conference Separating Safely will cover a range of topics that impact on families travelling through the separation process. Talks will focus on how families can traverse this difficult time as safely as possible. This event is for professionals working with clients and families to understand the impact of separation and make more connections with other professionals in this diverse field.

Renowned researcher, Professor Bryan Rodgers from the Australian National University will be speaking about the intertwined nature of mental health and family law. There will also be a forum with speakers, Charlotte Young, Coffs Harbour Woman of the Year and Manager of Warrina Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services and Heath Addison, Coordinator of the Step up Mate Men’s Behaviour Change Program, discussing services and support available for families in the Mid North Coast Region, and what the culture of family safety is on the Mid North Coast. Lunch is included in the ticket price. There will also be strong focus this year on increasing networking between the various professions involved in the Family Law and separation system.
