4. What intervention methods does this practitioner use when working with clients.

Important: Identify who is their client? Who is it they work with? Do they work with the client’s family or community members?

Watson works mainly with mothers who is experienced domestic violence which they are separated were all the clines are being punished by their husbanded for leaving the relationship. As Wastion current job is working mother who is experienced DV she does not work with any family or community members, but in other cases she works with mothers and kids.

5.List the key models, theories and theorists used by the practitioner (need rewriting) .

The theory they use in the practice is attachment by theorist Bowlby (1969), t provides more knowledge of the relationship between a child’s mental health or their maternal-care givers. Bowlby defines attachment behaviours as those actions that are triggered when a child is stressed that causes imminent danger. These behaviours continue to be exhibited by the child even the loose transfer from childhood to adulthood. They are concerned with proximity seeking, maintenance of contact with other persons and communicative behaviour (Cortazar & Herreros 2010). The theory of mind also includes the ability features mental states such as desires, emotions and beliefs. However, it distributes with a transformation that is likely to arise as a result of different views and beliefs controlled by others ( Olivola 2019).


6. List the goals the practitioner states they have in their work with clients. (more elaborate)

The practitioner main goal is making sure that the client is safe as she work with people who is at risk and the people who is impower help them to make their own decision which it work as cognitive prose. Establishing safety is the main point as well as trust of client as well as conditionality. However, as practitioner it’s important to be being clear that if there is any harm to the child the practitioner need to contact the department of child safety. Bounders, making sure you and the client i

7. Identify the foundational skills for social work and welfare practice that the practitioner saw as necessary to be effective in this work. Important: Ask them to describe the practice framework they draw on. List the theory, knowledge, methods and professional values they identify.

As Dr. Wilson framework is working with client to based on strength based approach,

Their view is their client are not responsible for the abuse that they have experienced.

People who are experience violence are often blamed and perpetrators excused

The theory of complex and developmental trauma as the person who is experiencing the trauma may not have the chance to develop and establish their coping mechanisms.

As well as understanding trauma is philological and emotional wellbeing as it effect brain and emotions

Given that complex trauma is repetitive, cumulative and interpersonal.

The work frame work use the theory of attachment, the relationship between the care given and how deliver this care. And how we connect to other people.

This is what we are here for to talk about today – so for women and children who are living in a home where they are not safe from violence the trauma they experience meets this criteria.

a strength based approach is a part of trauma informed care to impower the client such as, asking the client what they do to keep themesfls safe,

Women are proactive and are not just victims. They have kept themselves and their children alive. Sometimes leaving is more dangerous than staying and women in a dv relationship are more likely to be kiiled at the time of separation. However, Women can and are proactive in protecting themselves and their children. Women are not just victims.

The skills the practise use is to be trauma informed care.

Important: Make note of and briefly describe the social, political, legal, cultural and organisational contexts and systems that helps them to be an effective advocate.

the organisation of Blue knot foundation helps Practice to use a strengths-based framework grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma, that emphasises physical, psychological, and emotional safety for everyone, and that creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment (Hopper et al., 2010).

Trauma-informed care and practice recognises the prevalence of trauma and its impact on the emotional, psychological and social wellbeing of people and communities.  Awareness of trauma, including of complex trauma has progressed over the last 20 years.

9. What is changing locally and/or globally that is impacting on their practice? What are the structural issues and service gaps?

Group advocate who is trying to change family law act. There are no locally that has impacted their practice.

10. Reflecting on having lived experience what questions/issues that you would like to explore with a person or community with lived experience in this field.

As the practitioner stated that she prefer to ask clients what is the most important things to them first and from there if there anything that they can do better in field and also what do they want to work on and what are their expectations of counselling?  Counselling would be guided then by the client's goals.

However, according to Watson stated that because her main client are women who will remain at risk. Further more, because she work with mothers and their children’s, so she would be asking questions about safety and making safety plans as necessary. Risk changes, so risk assessment is an ongoing process.
