"It’s where early intervention is really, really important, because for the most part, where you’ve got violence happening, you’ve got such an unequal relationship that it’s not ever recommended that you do family counselling, because it was seen to be quite dangerous for women." - Prof Cathy Humphreys

Prof Cathy Humphreys

Prof Cathy Humphreys is the Foundation Alfred Felton Chair in Child and Family Welfare. This Chair is funded by the Alfred Felton Trust to support the collaboration between the School of Social Work at The University of Melbourne and Community Sector Organisations (CSOs) through the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare.

Cathy brings to the Alfred Felton Chair in Child and Family Welfare a depth of research experience in the area of domestic and family violence and its relevance to the child protection agenda.
