Case: Ola is a mother from an African background. English is not her first language.

She recently arrived at your service with two children, a three-year-old and a baby. She was in crisis, having left a relationship because of domestic violence.

She had just come out of the hospital, where she was treated for injuries which she sustained from a domestic violence incident. Her two children were cared for through child protection while she was in the hospital.

She has no family or other support and needs a place for her children to go while she gets her life back in order.

Both children are extremely distressed by separation, having recently experienced extended separation from their mother and placement in foster care. The mother is also very distressed, and when she left the children, she stayed near the doors of the children's rooms, listening to them crying.

It took a very long time for the older child to show signs of feeling secure in the environment. He began to talk about the specific domestic violence incident that resulted in his mother's hospitalisation. He cried often and over minor issues.

Educators noticed that he enjoyed drawing and was very skilled at communicating through drawing. He frequently drew police, usually in police cars, and his mother being assaulted. Whenever he drew a picture of his family, there was a police car in the background. Occasionally he drew a picture of his dad
