For families receiving court-ordered financial and medical support, the management and enforcement strategies, training and community engagement the team facilitates have played a critical role in the safe and effective delivery of services. Within the program, there have been no new incidents of violence between parties in child support cases since 2011, when the Family Violence Initiative was established.
