Collaborative Response
Because of the far-reaching nature of toxicity and illegality that DVA and CCB creates, responding to its prevalence in our communities, requires a multiagency approach and seamless collaborative responses in order for it to be effective. Those impacted don’t like to re-live their experiences over and over. They are or have already come through hell. They want to tell their story in a safe way and have the appropriate Teams and web of support to kick in once they have had the courage to disclose. Responding together on the frontline gives a clear an unambiguous message that DVA and CCB are real crimes, impacting real lives, and not acceptable in any society.
Here is a short video on why cooperation is important in tackling DVA and CCB.
