This course is comprised of material contained in Intimate Partner Violence I and II.
In spite of the trend toward normalization of mental health and therapy, and with social media outlets such as TikTok and Instagram offering mental health tips, addressing domestic and intimate partner violence (IPV) remains difficult. This holds true even among clinicians who often feel stuck when their clients continue to struggle with the aftermath of abuse weeks, months, and even years after the relationship(s) have ended.
This intermediate level course is comprised of material contained in Intimate Partner Violence I and II. This course is designed to provide clinicians strategies they can use in their practices, along with tools they can share with clients to help them move towards a healthier future in the aftermath of their experiences. Content is pulled from both current literature and the author’s extensive professional experience in helping victims of all genders, sexualities, races, and abilities to navigate the journey in and out of toxic relationships and discusses treatment both during and in the aftermath of abuse.
This comprehensive course contains five sections beginning with understanding demographics, definition, and history of IPV. It then describes cycles of abuse and moves into factors associated with assessing, documenting and reporting abuse. The second half of the course moves into safety planning, identifying, and working with barriers to clients leaving abusive relationship and ends with a discussion of the stages of recovery and healing.
Transcripts are available for all audios. Additional resources and references are provided for further study, but they are not part of the course.
