Domestic violence is both incredibly common and often overlooked. As someone within a helping profession, ignoring signs of domestic violence or allowing our own experiences and perceptions to influence our response can have a negative impact on victims and communities. This course is designed to build confidence in those supporting victims by examining important elements of the helper experience and provide a framework for approaching this topic in a way that facilitates autonomy, support and safety.
Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to identify at least 3 common myths related to the experience of domestic violence and the barriers these myths create for survivor safety and progress.
2. Participants will examine common experiences within domestic violence and evaluate the ethical implications of intervention within this framework.
3. Participants will be able to recognize common triggers of countertransference within this context and discuss strategies for ethically managing a supportive relationship to produce positive outcomes.
