Hi John,The Caravan Parks I work with in Australia are 'villages' in a sense!The residents most definitely help each other to not only raise the children but support each other with the multiple issues facing most of these families in transience!We worked on a project a few years ago with the residents around domestic violence but instead of asking the victim(s) any questions, we involved everyone in asking each other "What can you do if you hear or witness domestic violence?" It not only brought out the conversations about how the sense of community in caravan parks is unique but also created a deeper sense of responsibility amongst the parents regarding other people's children who may be in harm's way! They came up with 4 key messages and put them on a key-ring so each new resident would receive the messages on a van key when they first arrived to highlight to new people that domestic violence was not welcome here!It was fantastic and all these years later, it is still discussed and acted on! I love my work (if you can call it that)!Regards,Dee...
