本文重点介绍了WomanKind计划在创造机会讨论家庭暴力和培训卫生专业人员方面的作用。WomanKind方案基于这样一种信念,即如果没有这种讨论,保健提供者将继续治疗将妇女带到家门口的医疗和心理健康问题,而不解决作为根本原因的潜在虐待模式。除了对保健专业人员的教育和咨询外,妇女组织还发展到为家庭虐待受害者提供案件管理/宣传服务。它还提供案件管理和宣传服务,包括危机干预、评估和评价,并向遭受现任或前任伴侣身体、情感或性虐待的受虐妇女提供持续援助。WomanKind的工作人员包括一名负责监督该项目的主任,包括营销和公共关系、教育和培训,以及协助三个医院的全职项目协调员。一个40小时的密集培训方案为新的妇女志愿者提供了对家庭虐待和暴力问题的理解,以及对社区资源的了解。本文详细阐述了该项目的目标以及项目营销技巧。
This article focuses on the role of the WomanKind program in creating opportunities for discussing domestic violence and training health professionals. The WomanKind program is based on the belief that without such discussion, health care providers will continue to treat the medical and mental health problems that bring women to their doors without addressing the underlying pattern of abuse that is the root cause. WomanKind has evolved to integrate case management/advocacy services for victims of domestic abuse, in addition to education and consultation for health professionals. It also provides case management and advocacy services, including crisis intervention, assessment and evaluation, and ongoing assistance to battered women who suffer from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse by a current or former partner. The WomanKind staff consists of a director who oversees the program, including marketing and public relations, education and training, as well as assisting the full-time program coordinators at each of the three hospital sites. An intensive 40-hour training program provides the new WomanKind volunteers with an understanding of the issues of domestic abuse and violence, as well as knowledge of community resources. The program goals are elaborated in this article as well as the program marketing techniques.
