Abbie McNamara, Family Preservation Reunification Response Practitioner/ Master of Social Work Graduate, Monash University and
A/Prof Catherine Flynn, Head of Department and Director of Higher Degree Research – Social Work, Monash University
This presentation is based on research undertaken by Abbie as part of her Master of Social Work at Monash University, supervised by Catherine. This work was awarded the Peter Boss prize for best thesis for the 2023 Academic Year. The research was undertaken as a collaboration with TaskForce-Windana, with its origins in practitioner observations about the challenges of current approaches to working with women mandated to AOD treatment. The study therefore sought to better understand what are the needs of, and best practices with this group, by examining existing case file data and interviewing clinicians. The audience will gain a more nuanced understanding of the needs of women engaged with the Forensic AOD system, and specific gender-based risk factors, as well as expanding their understanding of ‘best-practice’ to include organisational and system-level actions needed to support work with this group of often overlooked women.
