SHAREPOINT
Participants
- o Female and Male
- o Age groups; <16, >16 to <24, >21
- o Currently experiencing DV?
- o Past experience (how long ago?)
- o Children (witnesses?)
- o Family knowledge and involvement?
- o Social service involvement?
- o Have participants discussed this before? With whom? When?
- o The group will include participants (self-identified) as being on the receiving end of DV and those agents of DV
This will facilitate a discussion around issues of power, control, stigma, and fear amongst other things. It is hoped this will encourage an exploration of understanding from both these experiencing platforms
Anonymity
Consider using pseudonyms (if participants so choose) – this is to protect participants’ identities and hence facilitate a safe and secure environment where stories can be shared in confidence
Consider the implications of what confidentiality might mean – safeguard against current DV
Be explicit about the parameters of confidentiality and ensure participants understand in what circumstances we (BlackMajor) will break confidentiality
Purpose
Raise awareness of how children are impacted by DV
How is it manifested?
How can it be mitigated if at all?
How these are displaced in other environments? E.g. playground
How is this transferred into adulthood?
Identify the various forms of DV as it pertains specifically to the black community
Identify the underlying meaning of DV from participants’ perspectives and hence develop a working definition of DV
Benefits of DV
Cost of DV
Non intimate partner DV (DV by family members including extended family)
What is the nuanced discourse (narrative around DV specific to BC)?
Violence between partners, violence directed at children
Co-habilitating experiences specific to the black community
