Title: 'BuBs' (Building Up Bonds) On Board: Family violence and mother/infant group work in women's shelters: Report on the Pilot of the 'BuBs On Board' program in Five Women's Shelters in Tasmania 2008

Summary: ‘BuBs’ (Building up Bonds) On Board, was piloted as an early intervention program for infants and their mothers accessing crisis/ emergency accommodation in order to escape family violence. It was trialed in five Women’s shelters within Tasmania in the first half of 2008. The Bubs On Board concept was derived from the work of the Addressing Family Violence Programs (AFVP), an initiative of Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital Integrated Mental Health Program (RCH IMHP). The AFVP commenced in 1996 and specializes in developing and delivering specialist mental health group work interventions for mothers and infants/toddlers/ children affected by family violence. Specifically, the ‘Peek a Boo Club’ (Bunston, 2008 & 2006) a therapeutic group work program for infants from birth to 36 months and their mothers provided the basis upon which to develop a transferable group work model to trial in Women’s shelters/refuges.
