Identifying and Responding to Domestic Violence, Supporting Child and Parent Survivors

Course overview

Domestic violence is pervasive and occurs across a spectrum of relationships, people, behaviors, and time; no one abusive relationship will look the same.

Participants will be equipped with Trauma-Informed, Victim-Centered strategies to promote safety and access to services as well as community resources to best assist families.
