Domestic Violence Abuse & Neglect Training

Course overview

In July 1995, the State of Florida legislature approved the addition of Domestic Violence as a licensure requirement for specific healthcare professionals. The Domestic Violence program presented here meets the mandated requirements of this legislation. This program contains components that include information about domestic violence and the risk factors associated with Domestic Violence and AIDS. The program will give a statistical approach specific to professional practice and the incidence of domestic violence within that practice. Assessment techniques, interview techniques and proper documentation of domestic violence will be reviewed in detail. Referral information, hot lines, crisis centers, etc. will be provided.
