This multi-part webinar series seeks to better equip mental health professionals to respond to clients experiencing domestic violence.
Safety and Ethical Considerations for Mental Health Providers Responding to Domestic Violence
Thursday, September 25, 2014 – 2:30pm to 4:00pmWATCH RECORDING
This training provides an introductory overview of critical safety and ethical concerns for mental health providers responding to domestic violence. Research suggests that more than half of women seen in mental health care settings may have experienced domestic violence. Many mental health care providers have little or no training in domestic violence and may inadvertently contribute to increased risk for survivors without proper training and knowledge of resources.
Training format and goals
The goal of this training is to provide some initial guidance and education about best practices for mental health providers responding to domestic violence. The training will highlight ethical and safety considerations throughout while providing participants with an overview of how domestic violence may present in mental health settings, what screening for DV looks like in mental health settings, ethical considerations in screening for domestic violence, how to effectively connect survivors to domestic violence services, best practices when working with survivors of domestic violence as well as with perpetrators of domestic violence, and an overview of safety planning with domestic violence survivors. Key resources and recommendations will be offered for further education and best practice tools.
