The Domestic Violence 101 workshop provides front-line staff with introductory knowledge and strategies for dealing with disclosure of domestic violence. The workshop is a three-hour interactive session, where participants are able to actively engage with the topic through discussions, exercises and reflections.
The workshop consists of two main components:
- An introduction to the concept of domestic violence, and
- An analysis of domestic violence through the lens of a trauma-informed approach, which includes an exploration of approaches to respond to disclosure of domestic violence.
The overall intention of the workshop is to strengthen front-line staff’s capacity to respond to disclosures of domestic violence from a trauma-informed lens. This workshop is applicable for front-line service providers, new domestic violence providers and para-professionals that intersect with domestic violence.
