Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Family violence work at LEXs centres on assessment, safety planning, and the long aftermath. I work with people currently navigating violence in their relationships, those who have recently left, and those carrying the legacy of growing up in households where violence was present. The work is paced to safety; it does not push for closure or insight before the conditions for either are in place. I work within scope and refer where specialist crisis or legal support is needed.
