Case study - Joan is three months pregnant. She separated from her husband a week before she attended her appointment with the prenatal health nurse. During her interview with the nurse Joan disclosed that her separation had occurred following a family violence incident with the baby's father and the police had attended. The nurse referred Jessie to the MABLES Program and arranged for the family violence advocate and family violence lawyer to speak with Jessie immediately.

During her meeting with the family violence advocate and family lawyer, both workers discussed with Joan her options should the family violence continue. Joan was informedby the lawyer about her option to apply for a court order to protect her from experiencingany further family violence. The advocate helped Joan to put together a safety plan.
