Women with physical disabilities sought for groundbreaking DV research project

Volunteers Needed

Would you like to be part of a research project?

Do you have a physical disability and are over the age of 18 years?
Have you been in an ‘abusive’ or ‘hurtful’ relationship?

(which can include physical, emotional, sexual, or with-holding of medication or mobility aids) by a boyfriend/partner, husband, sibling, carer, parent, service provider etc in the last five years

If you answered YES to these questions, then please read on.

We are seeking a number of women with physical disabilities (over the age of 18 years) to assist us in conducting a research study about your experiences with violent or hurtful relationships and what kind of help you received (if any).

The research is being conducted by postgraduate student Karen Jordan (who is a woman with a physical disability) from the University of Sydney and will inform social work practice and education about better ways to support this group of women.

You can register your interest through:

Calling Karen Jordan on 02 9351 4712; or emailing kjor0898@uni.sydney.edu.au and leave your name and contact details with a safe time to call or email back. Karen will contact you to explain in more detail about the study and to see if you would like to participate.
