¶ … Interventional Project
Proposal for Early Intervention Project
In the recent past, the issue of family violence against children in the aboriginal communities has attracted significant attention of different stakeholders involved in the protection of the rights of the children (Backlar & Cutler, 2002). While significant attention has concentrated on the identification of the effective strategies for curbing general family violence, limited research has been done on family violence on children in Aboriginal communities (Bowman, 2004). Therefore, the following presents a proposal of the intervention that can be applied to ensure the reduction of cases of family violence against children in Aboriginal communities found in Australia. The analysis begins by providing the objectives of the program, method of intervention, ethical implications of the approach, and resources required for the success of the research. It also provides an analysis of the budgetary requirements, method of program evaluation, and the limitations that are likely to affect the outcomes of the project.
Objectives of the project
Objectives act as guiding principles in research. Among the general and specific objectives of this research, include;
General objectives
a) To identify the forms of family violence that face the children from aboriginal communities in Australia
b) To identify the factors that contribute to family violence against children in Australia
c) To identify social determinants that play a key role in contributing to family violence against children in aboriginal communities in Australia
d) To identify the effects of family violence on children from aboriginal communities in Australia
e) To develop the most effective intervention (s) applicable in preventing future occurrence of family violence against children in aboriginal communities in Australia
f) To identify the elements of effective family violence prevention programs that can be used to eradicate the incidences of family violence against children
Specific objectives
a) To identify the forms of family violence that affect children in aboriginal community X
b) To identify the factors contributing to family violence to children in community X
c) To identify the effects of family violence on children from aboriginal community X
d) To identify the efficacy of interventions adopted for preventing the occurrence of family violence against children in aboriginal community X
e) To identify the elements of secondary intervention that makes it effective in preventing and eradicating the occurrence of family-based violence against children in community X
Target group to receive the intervention
Family violence appears to be at a high rate in most of the aboriginal communities not only in Australia, but also in other parts of the world. The increasing rates of family violence have prompted most states to embrace the need for the adoption of strategies that aim at gaining understanding of the extent of the violence and effective interventions adoptable to reduce the incidence (Mahoney, 2005). While most of the interventions adopted by most governments have focused on the general strategies for eliminating family violence in aboriginal communities, limited knowledge is known on the effective interventions for eliminating family violence against children from aboriginal communities.
Similarly, empirical analysis shows that, significant researches conducted in the past have majorly focused on the effective secondary approaches applicable in preventing family violence against women of aboriginal communities, leaving behind the children who are vulnerable to its effects (Ellsberg & Heise, 2002). Therefore, the target group to receive the interventions provided in this research is two folded. Firstly, the research is designed to identify family problems that affect the children from aboriginal Community X, Australia. The research focuses on this group as it is underserved by most researches that have focused on the forms and interventions on preventing family violence in aboriginal communities across the world. Secondly, the research focuses on mainstreaming the organizations and partners of the Australian government working or planning to work in the prevention and elimination of aboriginal family violence against children in Australia.
The method of intervention to eliminate family violence against children in aboriginal community X
There exists no agreed form of intervention that can be adopted to prevent and eradicate the occurrence of family violence. However, significant evidence reveals the used of primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions as effective in preventing the occurrence of family violence. The primary intervention of curbing the occurrence of family violence focuses on avoiding the risk factors that contribute to family violence. Secondary interventions aim at identifying the individuals at risk of family violence, preventing the progress of the vulnerable individuals to family violence, and developing effective strategies of preventing their occurrence and supporting the affected. Tertiary interventions...
