1561062887-ncpatlogowide-lgDay One: The River of Cruelty Model: A Trauma-Responsive Approach to Domestic Violence Intervention

This presentation will introduce the foundational principles of the Family Peace Initiative’s trauma-responsive approach to domestic violence intervention. Participants will examine how cruelty is passed from person to person and generation to generation, and how to intervene. Using an experiential approach, this workshop will explore the fundamentals of the internal-focused dialogue, including working with feelings, connecting to the power of the “Golden Shadow Message” and understanding the power of Alice Miller's “Enlightened Witness”. Participants will learn practical skills that can be applied immediately to their work with those who perpetrate domestic violence.

 

Day Two: Cracking the Code: Understanding Different Motives of Those Who Batter and the Connection to Risk and Lethality

This presentation “cracks the code” on battering behavior, bringing an understanding of the differences among those who batter based on motive to judges, attorneys, advocates, and other professionals working with domestic violence concerns. Those with different motives display different behaviors, and present different dangers to their victim and children. Through the use of videos and case examples, this information unlocks a deeper and more nuanced understanding of domestic violence. This workshop provides practical information that can improve safety considerations for victims and children, and intervention efforts with those who batter.

 

Audience

This conference will be beneficial to domestic violence intervention program staff, victim advocates, social workers, psychologists, licensed clinical mental health counselors, substance abuse counselors, marriage and family therapists, peer support specialists, law enforcement, judges, attorneys and other legal professionals, clergy, health care professionals and others interested in this topic.
