Government funding counselling that puts women at risk

The government is funding $10 million towards Specialist Family Violence Services, including couples counselling. It's an absolutely terrible idea. As Hayley Foster, CEO of Women's Safety NSW, wrote to the minister of families and human services: “Couples counselling in the context of domestic and family violence is contraindicated for victim safety and is not recommended by any representative specialist domestic and family violence service peak body, practitioner group, or research organisation nationally"

But they're going ahead anyway.
