Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: "Family violence intervention presents specific challenges for practitioners, whether they are working specifically in this area or in general social work practice. The authors draw on the findings of a research project in which they were involved to suggest for themes that, together, form a vision of practice for family violence intervention in New Zealand: manaakitanga, whakawhanaungatanga, professional integrity, and authenticity. The project investigated the effectiveness of services delivered by a regional family violence intervention service, DOVE Hawke’s Bay. The themes identified encompass relational, humanistic, knowledge, and experiential bases for practice with Māori and non-Māori clients. Warmth and connectivity is tempered with avoidance of collusion and accountability. Gentle persistence and ‘keeping it real’ are important, as are professional skills, knowledge, and integrity."
