Domestic Abuse – Victim Focus

Domestic Abuse – Victim Focus

Goal: It is difficult to ascertain the exact incidence of domestic violence. One estimate based on the work of several investigators has placed the annual number of cases of domestic violence in the United States at 1.5 million; it has also been estimated to occur in up to 50% of all familial relationships. A complete understanding of this “widespread public health issue” is the first step to helping clients heal.

Objective:

• Participants will be able to identify and describe the signs of domestic violence and abuse.
• Participants will learn compassion is paramount.
• Participants will be able to discuss 3 strategies for positive change.
