Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center Training in Domestic Violence
Description:
While every therapist works with clients in varying degrees of relational crisis, encountering domestic violence can leave providers feeling frozen, powerless, and unsure about how to keep their clients safe. At Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, we assess our survivors' physical, emotional, and psychological safety so we can empower them to move toward greater health. If you want to feel more confident identifying intimate partner violence in its many forms, consider joining us for three hours of essential, interactive learning.
The training will cover:
-characteristics of abusive relationships
-dynamics of power and control
-populations & identities at greater risk for victimization
-risk assessment
-“Why do they Stay” interactive activity
-impact on and considerations for children
-tips for supporting survivors
-scope of services at JGCC and how to access
This is an introductory program for all mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives:
Identify how people who use violence maximize power and control in abusive relationships
Explain why survivors stay in abusive relationships
Discuss obstacles for individuals from marginalized groups (including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and teen survivors)
Apply clinical skills to support survivors of domestic violence in assessing and planning for safety on their own terms
