Navigating the Complexities of Domestic Violence

Behavioral Care Center of New Jersey and Metro NY DBT Center bring you this training which will provide training on navigating the complexities of domestic violence.

Abstract:  Domestic Violence impacts individuals and groups from every racial/ethnic background, socioeconomic classes, sexual orientation, and gender identities.  For these groups and individuals, perpetration and victimization have its uniqueness and commonalities.  This workshop approaches domestic violence from an intersectional lens to explain causal theories, barriers to help-seeking, perpetrator behavior, and survivor support.  The focus is on applicable exercises and scenarios to draw out best-practices in working with survivors using a trauma-informed approach in a social service setting.
