This is a practical research of a parenting intervention, which educates volunteers as community workers. After participating in this educational program, participants formed a parental support group and they have started to support mothers and children in the community. The purpose of this research is to clarify the change in volunteer’s self-efficacy and network through the program and practice of parenting intervention.

The method of research 1 is to target 67 people to be analyzed. Using the questionnaire, we analyze the participant’s self-efficacy, their attitudes towards parenting support and their attitudes towards the community. In research 2, we made a PAC analysis, in which 3 leaders were interviewed for this parenting intervention activity.

The results suggest the followings: Research 1 suggests that participants of this educational program increased action and participation in the community, however there was no change in their self-efficacy. Research 2 suggests that as participant’s personal networking increased, they felt some responsibility towards their network. They have been supported by membership, built through the parenting intervention activity.

これから，対人間及び家族内の暴力被害者で，私が実際にあたりましたケースのことを3例お話ししたいと思います。これらの3つのケースを選んだのには2つの理由があります。ひとつは，それぞれがアメリカにおいて非常によく見られる，よくあるケースだということです。私，そしてメアリーも日常的に遭遇するケースです。そして，このそれぞれのケースが多様な専門家，それぞれの専門の領域を越えた協働の可能性というものを示しているものであるからです。専門家には，私自身もそうですが，弁護士、メンタルヘルスケアに携わっている人，心理学者，心理療法土，そして被害者のために擁護するアドボケーターも含まれます。最初はサラのケースです。
