Scientific Program Report
Description:
Family violence is culturally specific, presenting a significant healthcare challenge within the diverse Aotearoa New Zealand context. The practice of cultural safety within family violence programmes is vital as minority populations face unique issues in coping with family violence. Evaluation data indicates that although cultural development of family violence intervention programmes has increased significantly, focus is required on developing and maintaining specific indicators to sustain a culturally safe intervention programme.
