Comprehensive Approaches to Intimate Partner Violence - 12 CE Package

Title of Event: Comprehensive Approaches to Intimate Partner Violence - 12 CE Package

Description of Event:

This course will provide a thorough training on the difficult and complex subject of domestic violence in two parts. Part one of the course will provide an overview of the problem, including defining domestic violence, understanding the various reasons victims don’t come forward, and how to assess for this in your practice. Before jumping into the work we will examine the response therapists have and explore how to be aware and contain responses that get in the way of treatment. The core struggles and clinical issues for therapists working with victims of domestic violence will be addressed, and fundamental tasks and common themes in treatment. Understanding the role of advocacy and when and if it becomes an appropriate role for the therapist.

When are abusive behaviors, not domestic abuse? Part two of this training will address the differential assessment when dealing with domestic violence. Abusive behaviors show up in many relationships. They are not always indicative of domestic violence. This is an essential part of our training and education to make the appropriate recommendation, provide the right treatment, and ensure safety. This training will go through the different possible etiologies of various abuses in marriage or intimate partnerships. We will also explore the ancillary issues in working with domestic violence such as being a help or resource to friends or family members as well as understanding the fundamental struggles when children are involved.
