Episode 21: Listening to the Voices of Children and Young People Harmed by Fathers Who Choose Violence: An interview with Professor Cathy Humphreys and Dr. Katie Lamb

45 minutes

For too long we have not listened to children and young people's experience of their father's violence. In their ground breaking research, Professor Cathy Humphreys and Dr. Katie Lamb interviewed children and young people about what they wanted to say to fathers who were violent to their families. This interview includes:

one of the digital stories where a young person, in her own voice, shares her feelings about father and his behavior
Katie and Cathy describing their interactions with the young people and what they learned from them
David and Ruth exploring with their guests how some professionals struggle with confronting fathers who choose violence with the lived experience of their children
a discussion of how aboriginal workers used the the young people's digital stories to help men change.
