VicHealth runs many projects about Mental Health & WellbeingDiscrimination and Violence and the links between violence against women and mental health. To quote:
Intimate partner violence is responsible for more ill-health and premature death in Victorian women under the age of 45 than any other of the well-known risk factors, including high blood pressure, obesity and smoking; 58% of the health impact experienced by women is anxiety and depression.
VicHealth has developed a public health model for the prevention ofviolence against women, which classifies interventions as primary, early intervention and intervention. More at: http://www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/Content.aspx?topicID=115
And also, to mark next week’s World Health Day (Monday 7 April), comedian Akmal Saleh and former Premier, Steve Bracks, will launch a TV commercial, that has been produced by the Spectrum Migrant Resource Centre (SMRC), featuring high profile celebrities and community leaders from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, as part of their Family Men Don’t do Family Violence campaign to prevent the incidence of family violence. Akmal Saleh said:
I’ve put my name and face to this campaign because I believe that hearing from other men, like me, that family violence is not on, will help the message get through. I’m often making jokes, but family violence is no laughing matter. The campaign title is true – family men don’t do family violence.
7:53: Ending.

The 3ZZZ Assyrian program is broadcast each Sunday 4-5 pm, on 92.3 FM, in Melbourne.
Who are the Assyrians?
According to Wikipedia
Assyrians are a Christian Syriac-speaking minority inhabiting northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey and northwestern Iran, some of whom also identify themselves as Aramaeans, Syriacs and Chaldeans. They are the survivors of the formerly extensive Aramaic- or Syriac- speaking Christian community of Northern Mesopotamia, pre-dating the Islamic conquest of the region.
