New study into young women’s experiences of intimate partner violence

Lead author PhD Candidate Bianca Johnston, from the Department of Social Work in the School of Primary and Allied Health Care, who was supervised by Monash University’s Associate Professor Catherine Flynn and Australian National University’s Associate Professor Faith Gordon, said it is hoped that by understanding and providing visibility to what young women are already doing to keep themselves safe, recover and heal in the face of IPV that the findings of this research can inform youth-informed strategies in direct social work practice.
