The course will explore the impact of coercive control and the direct link between the victim’s experiences of domestic violence and negative mental health impacts.
An overview of best practice responses for clinical interventions to effectively work with victims will be provided. Participants will have the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills on ways to assess risk and consider obstacles that prevent victims from leaving a violent relationship.

Those undertaking the course will develop skills and knowledge to help clients identify possible options to seek safe solutions for self and the family.
