Description
This is not for the practitioner looking for simple answers. Come see what it means to CARE. Join other professionals struggling with the challenges of effectively integrating the complexities of IPV in mental health practice.While there is no single intervention to end intimate partner violence, there are guides for navigating the complexities and avoiding potentially lethal pitfalls. What we do not know, can hurt them. However, mindful engagement can bring light to dark times for families coping with the effects of violence.
In this workshop, participants will learn and review key findings in the field of intimate partner violence as they relate to mental health and engage in dialogue to explore complex assessment and intervention issues. Through case examples, therapists will explore issues associated with initial screening and treatment and the use of danger assessment and safety planning.
Therapists will learn to recognize complex trauma in the context of IPV and explore the role of mental health in a coordinated community response. Come to learn, come to work, come to C.A.R.E.
