Domestic and Family ViolenceDomestic and family violence is one of the most underreported crimes in New South Wales to date. Domestic Violence comes in many forms, including emotional and psychological abuse, intimidation, harassment in the form of sexual and physical, abuse targeting pets, property damage and the list goes on. Children living in a situation where domestic violence occurs are more at risk of being sexually assaulted and the continuation of abuse may have a detrimental impact on the child's personal health, education, mental state, growth and social development. Families Against ViolenceThe Great Lakes Communities Against Family Violence Committee's (GLCAFVC) purpose is to raise the awareness of family violence issues and to highlight available services operating within the Great Lakes area. Service providers and community workers are welcome to attend and or receive minutes. Monthly meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of every month from 2:00pm - 4:00pm in the CWA rooms next to the Forster Neighbourhood Centre in Little Street.
