Enhancing Safety for Children in Out-of-Home Care Impacted by Harmful Sexual Behaviors
Harmful sexual behavior (HSB) is associated with significant risks and long-term adverse impacts. For children and young people who have displayed HSB, promoting safety and wellbeing across developmental timeframes is critical. Although substantial knowledge and guidance exists on risk assessment and safety management, there is limited guidance on how to develop detailed safety plans within out-of-home care (OOHC) contexts. This scoping review ai…
‘Knowledge is the Key’- Coercive Control Influencing the Continuum Between Arranged and Forced Marriages in Multicultural Communities
This paper examines the significant knowledge gap surrounding forced marriage, particularly among Muslim legal professionals, religious leaders, and the broader community in South Australia, despite its criminalization in 2013. A key concern is the limited understanding of the distinction between arranged and forced marriages, which is increasingly blurred by ongoing socio-cultural coercive control that may gradually erode genuine consent. This a…
Thriving kinship care
Objective This study offers a preliminary exploration into the meaning of success in statutory kinship care, with a focus on critically analyzing the conceptualization of kinship care as a complex form of family care, extending beyond child protection service provision. Background Kinship care in Australia is increasingly considered the preferred option for children within the out‐of‐home care system. Although the capacity of kinship care to supp…
The Role of Muslim Religious Code of Conduct (Islamic Law or Shariah) in Child Protection Within Muslim Migrant Communities in Australia
This paper investigates and examines the role of the Muslim religious code of conduct known as Sharia or Islamic law in relation to the protection of children, in particular child neglect, within Australian Muslim communities. Australia has a secular and unified legal system. This legal system applies to all Australian citizens and residents, regardless of their religious, ethnic, or cultural background. However, it is argued here that for certai…
Meeting the training needs of a child-protection workforce
There is a well-established need to ensure that practitioners who work directly with children and young people impacted by abuse are well-equipped to support them. This need is coupled with a lack of evidence-based practice models and specialized responses to abuse-related trauma within the child protection/family support sectors. This study examines the outcomes of a suite of Professional Certificates that aim to support nonspecialist practition…
Communal parenting, marriage and children in Papua, Indonesia
This article provides new social work knowledge about the parenting practices of Papuan parents, which includes their perceptions of marriage and having children. This qualitative ethnographic study included participant observation and individual semi-structured interviews with 49 Papuan parents (34 mothers and 15 fathers), who were interviewed across five different Papuan regencies: Supiori, Jayapura, Jayawijaya, Boven Digul and Mimika. A key fi…
Negotiation, Reciprocity, and Reality
This article shares experiences and lessons learned through a collaboration between the University of Manitoba, the First Nation Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba (FNHSSM), and eight First Nation communities in Manitoba. We employed a participatory approach from planning the research project, to data collection, and to the analysis, interpretation, and implementation of results. We learned that successful collaborations require: a) invest…
Challenges of implementing restorative justice for intimate partner violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is currently recognized as a critical public health concern and a human rights issue. Not surprisingly, Muslims – a religiously and socio-culturally diverse faith-based populace – are not an exception. To address this complex area of criminal justice and social policy, some scholars advocate implementing restorative justice (RJ) approaches. While RJ approaches have been traditionally used in Islamic cultures for co…
Hospitalization for mental health related ambulatory care sensitive conditions
This study suggests that despite reduced rates of hospitalization for mental-health related Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions over time for First Nations, gaps in mental health care still exist. We argue greater investments in primary mental health care are needed to support First Nations health. However, these efforts should place equal importance on prevention and the social determinants of health
Looking back, moving forward
In Canada, high rates of anxiety, depression and suicides have resulted in mental health crises in First Nation (FN) communities. To date, Indigenous worldviews and approaches have not been fully heeded in mainstream strategies to address the complexity of living in colonial oppression, despite ongoing crises for decades. We describe perspectives of eight FN communities explaining cultural facilitators of mental wellbeing. The objective is to pro…
Innovating for Transformation in First Nations Health Using Community-Based Participatory Research
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) provides the opportunity to engage communities for sustainable change. We share a journey to transformation in our work with eight Manitoba First Nations seeking to improve the health of their communities and discuss lessons learned. The study used community-based participatory research approach for the conceptualization of the study, data collection, analysis, and knowledge translation. It was accomp…
A Critical Examination of Qur’an 4
This article examines Islam's position on wife beating in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV). Though research indicates multiple causes of IPV, Islam is often singled out as the main cause for violence against women in Muslim societies, based on the interpretation of Qur’an 4:34 (which seemingly supports wife beating). This verse is often interpreted out of context and Islam's position on IPV is confused with the issue of nushuz (cont…
