Description: 

This presentation provides a unique take on domestic violence prevention, identification, and intervention by enabling participants to develop a multi-disciplinary perspective of violence in the home. Results from the trainer’s national domestic violence survey of victim serving agencies across multiple disciplines will be discussed. Discipline-specific (and shared) barriers to working with victims of domestic violence will be identified (legal, church, law enforcement, education staff, social services, medical, animal, DV shelter). Participants will learn critical concepts for overcoming these barriers, developing a multi-disciplinary response, and promoting data-driven, effective and efficient community-inclusive methods to better identify and assist these victims of violence.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify common and discipline specific barriers to detection and reporting of family violence.
  • Develop a multi-disciplinary perspective to violence and abuse in the home.
  • Recognize efficient and effective methods for developing collaborative, community-wide efforts to better identify and assist victims of violence (adults, children, and pets).
