Training & presentations
Presentations average 90 to 120 minutes, and can be tailored to fit time requirements for your agency. Comprehensive trainings around domestic violence education, program development for group work addressing issues of family violence, or work with Veterans are available.
Some examples of current presentations include:
DV 101 - Understanding the Cycle of Abuse
Provides clear information around the types of abuse and how it appears as patterns, or cycles, within relationships. Overview of the impact of mental health, trauma, and intergenerational family experiences on communication, conflict resolution and individual core beliefs of love and relationship.
Working with Men Who Abuse
Understand the components for effective programming for men who use abuse, including considerations for outcome objectives and barriers for success. Learn about the impact of systems, mental and chemical health and cultural expectations on the client's you serve. Explore the "why's"of the abuse and how the experiences of trauma, shame, and family of origin impact the development of abusive behaviors.
Successful Arguing
As a primary factor in the toxicity of relationships, communication repair is key to healing homes and reducing intentionally hurtful behavior. Evaluating where and how breakdowns occur, and how unhealthy patterns are reinforced is a first step to creating a more effective way of resolving conflict. Through role plays and dyadic work, participants will have an active role in practicing tools and skills necessary for learning how to argue - successfully.
The Transition Home: Veterans and Domestic Violence
Explore the intersection of military culture and domestic abuse. Learn about the challenges servicemen face when returning to their families and relationships, and how culturally sensitive programming for men who are using abuse at home can be instrumental in reducing violence, improving accountability, and healing individual trauma.
Additional presentations can be tailored to fit organizational needs.
