16 Days lunchtime talk: the role of social workers

Join us for a talk by Banu Gunasekaran and Paul Dodemaide, members of the Social Work teaching staff at Victoria University, to learn about the role of social workers.

Family violence affects the lives of many people in the community, and often comes to the attention of social workers in a wide range of health, education and human service settings. Social workers may have responsibility for providing frontline services to survivors and perpetrators of family violence, and for delivering programs designed to prevent future violence. This session will explain what social workers do and how to engage with support.
