dc.description.notesGeneral Overview:Women experiencing family violence often turn to General Practitioners (GPs) for help. This series of guides from Melbourne in Victoria helps GPs identify and respond appropriately to family violence. Each guide is tailored to include information on services available in their respective region of the state.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion:The guides provide advice on how to assess women, children and young people by looking for key symptoms of violence, and suggest ways to broach the issue of violence with patients. They explain how to respond (and how not to respond) to women who disclose experience of violence, emphasising the importance of listening, communicating belief, validating the decision to disclose and the unacceptability of violence. The guides also discuss the need to devise safety plans with patients.<br/ ><br/ >The guides cover a range of other topics including: responding to disclosures by men that they are violent towards family members; dealing with family violence when both partners are patients; documenting family violence; and providing continuing care to women affected by family violence. The final section of each of the guides lists services to which GPs can refer their patients, and information on training and resources.en
