About the Project<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This project aims to provide an on-line guide and learning opportunities that will build the capacity of all practitioners in the field of family law to respond to family violence. Our overarching objective of this project is to promote the use of tools to identify family violence in family law systems, and to develop the capacity of family law professionals to address the impact of abuse in family-specific parenting plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goals of the project are to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Promote standardized screening tools to enhance the substantive and procedural decision- and recommendation-making by multidisciplinary family law professionals involved in family violence-related child custody matters (including judges, lawyers, and assessors).  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Provide learning opportunities to build the capacity of all practitioners in the field of family law to respond effectively to family violence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. To create a standardized guide for parenting plans where there has been family violence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Support sustained knowledge mobilization and collaboration in the field through Communities of Practice.    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This project was funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada and is designed to address the unique need of survivors of family violence within the family justice system. Canada’s research centres on violence against women will initiate, host and support a Community of Practice (CoP) <\/strong>comprised of family violence experts, survivors, family lawyers, researchers, mental health, and social service professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Ce projet, financ\u00e9 par l’Agence de sant\u00e9 publique du Canada, est con\u00e7u pour r\u00e9pondre aux besoins particuliers des survivants de la violence familiale au sein du syst\u00e8me de justice familiale. Les centres de recherche canadiens sur la violence envers les femmes lanceront, accueilleront et soutiendront une communaut\u00e9 de pratique (CdP) compos\u00e9e d’experts en violence familiale, de survivants, d’avocats de la famille, de chercheurs, de professionnels de la sant\u00e9 mentale et des services sociaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The overarching goal of the project was to enhance support to survivors of violence <\/strong>through the family law system by increasing opportunities for family law practitioners to have training, guidance and resources to support trauma-informed practice, and to improve coordination of services that will enhance the safety and wellbeing of all parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    L’objectif g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du projet est d’am\u00e9liorer le soutien aux survivants de la violence<\/strong> par le biais du syst\u00e8me de droit de la famille en augmentant les possibilit\u00e9s pour les praticiens du droit de la famille d’avoir une formation, des conseils et des ressources pour soutenir une pratique tenant compte des traumatismes, et d’am\u00e9liorer la coordination des services qui am\u00e9lioreront la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et le bien-\u00eatre de toutes les parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
