Many victims in same-sex relationships benefit from referral to LGBT-specific services at which employees can understand and respond to the specific issues involved. Female perpetrators also can have great difficulty finding services, as the services are largely focused on male perpetrators. #IPV_LGBT_Services
Mina, aged 45 years, presents with a history of persisting headaches most days for the past two months. The headaches develop late in the day and are across the whole head. She is very tired but has no neurological symptoms or nausea associated with the headaches. She tells you in passing that she only sleeps well when her partner, Jen, is not at home. 1.What questions would you ask about Mina’s psychosocial context once you have excluded a physical cause for the headaches? 2.How would you explore the possibility of intimate partner abuse with Mina? 3.What types of intimate partner abuse are common in same- sex relationships, and does this label fit for the issues Mina has described in her relationship? 4.What further history would you need to take to understand the level of risk for Mina in this relationship? 5.How would you manage this situation? Would you suggest that Mina involves the police? 6.What appropriate family violence or other services could you refer Mina to for support and counselling? #Week11_Case2
The first decision to be made is whether a mandatory report to child protection is required. The laws are different in each jurisdiction of Australia; however, in this case, physical abuse has occurred, so a report to child protection would be required in all jurisdictions. It is very important that this process is carefully explained to Carmelita, because when child protection workers start visiting and/or making telephone calls, it may alert her partner to the fact that she has made a disclosure, so she will need to know how to keep herself safe. #Mandatory_Report #Child_Protection
