Supporting Survivors in Abusive Relationships

This training explores the barriers to victims/survivors leaving abusive relationships and the support they may require when staying in their relationship.

It considers safety planning with victims that are currently in relationships and what measures can be put in place to support them and reduce risk. The use of the CAADA DASH ric to assess levels of risk is explained.

This training also explores how to encourage and support survivors to reflect on the impacts of domestic abuse on their children.

Services including, the Jenkins Centre Partner Support Service are introduced and the need for a coordinated and muti-agency approach to supporting victims is discussed.

The training involves full group and subgroup discussions, as well as the use of statistics, case studies and videos to aid learning and engagement.
