Cumberland City Council has released a series of Domestic and Family Violence educational videos to assist communities respond to the issue.
The online resources, which have been translated into Arabic, Dari, Korean, Mandarin (Simplified Chinese) and Tamil, are part of the Living Safely in Cumberland City Project and aim to increase community awareness and understanding of Domestic and Family Violence.
“With the reduction in face-to-face activities, we are bringing an important set of resources to those who need it most through our web platforms,” Mayor of Cumberland City Council Steve Christou said.
“We know people continue to be vulnerable to Domestic and Family Violence due to the impacts of COVID-19 and limited support services in the current climate. That’s why we remain focussed on accessibility of resources and help for all our residents.
The safety and security of our community is a key priority for us at Cumberland City,” Mayor Steve Christou said.
The videos are made up of five modules covering topics such as, ‘understanding Domestic and Family Violence’, ‘how children are affected’ and ‘support services and useful apps’.
This project is supported by the NSW Government through Women NSW and Department of Communities and Justice and the Domestic Violence Community of Practice.
