How do whānau make long term changes that slash rates of violence and abuse in their communities? How do they know if they’re on the right track? Social scientist, Dr Cristy Trewartha has been asking big questions like these for much of her career.
For the last 15 years she’s been a practitioner, funder, researcher, and academic working in the area of family violence prevention. In 2020 she completed a doctorate focused on ‘Community Mobilisation’ as an approach to foster large-scale change.
Recently, she furthered this thinking in a journal article published in the May 2020 edition of Psychology Aotearoa. In it, she explores connections between Community Mobilisation and the kaupapa Māori approach of E Tū Whānau. (From the E Tū Whānau website, publication date updated). Read the summary now. The full article will be available on the New Zealand Psychological Society website, when the next issue of their journal is published. and more from Cristy Trewartha, PhD is available in the NZFVC library - follow the links.
