Domestic Violence Risk and Needs Evaluation (DVRNE) Training
This workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to use the Domestic Violence Risk and Needs Evaluation tool when conducting domestic violence offender evaluations. The DVRNE is a free resource that was developed in Colorado using items and research from several DV assessment tools. The UADVT encourages all clinicians in Utah who provide DV offender evaluations to use this tool. It is a required evaluation tool to be used for offender clients receiving DCFS treatment funding. It is necessary to receive training before beginning to use the DVRNE tool. This presentation utilizes two break-out session slots to address the full material. If a clinician has participated in formal training about the DVRNE offered by DCFS or UADVT previously, this training may be selected as an optional review.
- Become familiar with the DVRNE's development, research support, and uses.
- Understand how to score each section of the DVRNE.
- Demonstrate how the DVRNE is used with a DV case example.
