Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) - Strategies, Resources and Critical Information.
Copyright :
Intimate partner violence is almost always concealed by fear and shame... and that can make it very difficult to identify and address this in your clients.
These situations are often complicated by trauma, personality disorders and culture.
Having the critical knowledge, skills and resources will support your ability to respond in a skilled and ethical way and may be the beginning of a safe future for your client.
This training session is packed with information and resources including:
-
Screening instruments and tools
-
Safety plans, strategy checklists, apps and websites
-
Abusive behaviour inventory
-
The cycle of violence
-
The excuse interpreter
-
The equality wheel
-
The power & control wheel
-
Assertiveness and self-care tools
Legal and ethical frameworks, record-keeping, subpoenas, and court orders are also explained.
Awareness of Intimate Partner Violence is growing socially and within the helping professions with reporting rates on the increase in therapeutic settings. In this presentation Jenny Sanbrook takes you through a step-by-step discovery of IPV in both individual and couples therapy. Case examples are unpacked within a framework of the latest theory and research to ensure you thoroughly grasp demographic, socioeconomic and inter-generational factors along with areas such as comorbid conditions and IPV post-separation.
Accurate knowledge and clinical experience when responding to IPV is essential especially when there are no overt physical signs of violence and instead where control is the primary form of abuse. Statistics show that women experiencing IPV use health care and counselling settings more often than non abused women leaving you, the therapist, in a unique position to support women who report IPV.
Jenny gives you clear ways to identify signs of IPV, barriers to progress and beliefs and attitudes to IPV and you will be equipped with the most current and proven strategies, support tools, resources, ethical guidelines and standards.
Register now to transform into a prepared professional who can recognise and respond to IPV.
