We deliver the Safe & Together™ Model CORE
Training (4 Days)
By focusing on four key skills: assessment, interviewing, documentation and case planning this experiential training provides the foundation for domestic violence-informed practice.
CORE Training explores the importance of:
- Identifying the impact of domestic violence on children and family functioning.
- Fact-based assessment of the perpetrators’ behaviour patterns.
- Partnering with adult survivors of domestic violence.
- Intervening with perpetrators.
- How domestic violence intersects with other issues like substance abuse and mental health.
Participants of the CORE Training will:
- Learn to use practice tools, such as Mapping Perpetrators’ Patterns and Multiple Pathways to Harm that can be implemented right away to improve assessment of risk, impact on children, survivor protective efforts and essential case decisions.
- Practice interviewing perpetrators, survivors and children through modelling, role play and Videos.
