Description

Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence is likely to occur at some time in your practice, regardless of your specialty.

However, once the outward symptoms of violence have vanished, it can be difficult to recognize abuse. What is the definition of abuse, and how does one appropriately assess for it? Domestic abuse, when brought to light, can create professional quandaries that leave you trapped between obligations for confidentiality, autonomy, and your broader responsibility to protect victims.

It’s a tough scenario that might leave you unclear of how to go and worried by the fact that failing to identify and respond to domestic abuse can have serious ramifications.

For renewal or first licensure, social workers and counselors in Maine must have completed 12 CE hours of training in domestic or intimate partner abuse by January 1, 2020.

This recording is your opportunity to complete all 12 needed hours and receive the tools and advice you need to spot the red flags of domestic and intimate partner violence, report and document abuse appropriately, and respond and intervene effectively and trauma-sensitively.

This program will serve as an invaluable guide for how you may improve outcomes for persons impacted by domestic and intimate partner abuse, whether you are a social worker, counselor, psychologist, marital and family therapist, nurse, or anyone in the helping professions.
