Humane Canada: Violence Link Awareness for Family Justice System Professionals Survey
February 15, 2023From Humane Canada
Humane Canada and Dr. Amy Fitzgerald invite you to participate in a short, 15-20 minute government-funded online survey to assess Canadian family justice system professionals’ knowledge of the link between animal abuse and family violence.
As well as assessing family justice system professionals’ knowledge, this survey aims to determine how the link between animal abuse and family violence impacts family justice system professionals’ work and what information/resources would best assist them with their work. It is the first study of its kind in Canada and globally, and as such will make significant contributions to knowledge.
At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you would like to participate in a follow-up interview lasting no longer than one hour. Selected interviewees will be compensated with a $250 honorarium.
