Working with Women who use Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPVA)

Duration

1 day

Working with women who use violence and abuse in an intimate relationship requires an understanding of the complexities of the issue and it is not the same as working with men who use IPVA. This course will give you a unique opportunity to understand and explore the dynamics of women who present as using violence and abuse towards an intimate partner. It is designed for frontline staff and professionals who have a basic or good understanding of Domestic Abuse and coercive control and would like to expand their knowledge on women who present as using IPVA and the relevant assessment practices and engagement that can further help and support their clients.
