North Coast Area Health Service
Abstract
This paper demonstrates the NCAHS Women's Health Services successful coordination of the 'LOVE BiTES' program over the past 4 years, and building of partnerships with government departments and NGO's to facilitate the provision of an effective and comprehensive Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention Program for High School Students on the Mid North Coast.
Women's Health coordinates the recruitment and training of workers from DV and Sexual Assault services on the MNC as 'LOVE BiTES' facilitators to engage and educate young people around the issues, and connect young people with support, counselling and crisis services. Women's Health has coordinated funding from various government departments to ensure sustainability and has engaged whole communities in the prevention of DV and Sexual Assault.
