Relate: Reflective Questions
WOMEN
For women, important aspects of RELATE are using a whole-person approach to care: seeing ‘all of me’; consideration of their unique circumstances or context and allowing adequate time for care processes.
Ask Yourself…
Do I feel people have my back if I am responding to a disclosure?
Do you enquire across the scope or breadth of women’s lives?
Do you look beyond her pregnancy, symptoms or presentation?
Have I had a chance to discuss with senior colleagues any issues I have addressing DV?
Is there someone I can talk to if I am unsure what to do?
