Navigating the Terrain: Policies and Responses to Intimate Partner Violence

RESOLVing Violence

Welcome back to another insightful episode of the Resolving Violence Podcast! Today, we had the immense privilege of sitting down with the brilliant Dr. Lise Milne, Associate Professor at the University of Regina and the powerhouse behind groundbreaking research in child welfare and intimate partner violence.

In this episode, Dr. Milne takes us on a captivating journey through her 15 years of hands-on experience in child welfare practice, coupled with a decade at the prestigious McGill Center for Research on Children and Families. Brace yourselves as we unravel the layers of her current research, touching upon vital topics such as policy responses to intimate partner violence, trauma-informed practices in child-serving organizations, and perinatal prevention programming for trauma-impacted caregivers.
The heart of our conversation revolves around Dr. Milne's involvement in a pan-Canadian research project, where we explore together the fascinating findings that have significant implications for child protection services and our understanding of intimate partner violence. We also shine a spotlight on the Safe and Together model, an evidence-based framework championing collaboration to enhance outcomes for children and families.
As our conversation unfolds, you'll gain valuable takeaways on the importance of relationship building, empathy, and curiosity in the realm of child protection and intimate partner violence intervention. This episode is not just a discussion; it's a call to action, an invitation to bridge gaps, and a beacon of hope for transformative change.
