Breaking the Cycle of Generational Domestic Abuse
The number one predictor of who will be involved in a violent intimate relationship as an adult is being raised in a household where it takes place. Children subconsciously incorporate an acceptance of violence into their world view, both as abusers and as victims, and then live out those beliefs in adult relationships. Many therapists and advocates are familiar with the emotional toll levied on children, but at a loss as to how to begin repairing the damage, and reframing a child’s view of the world to a healthier standard. This workshop will provide a guide to assessing child victims, treatment planning, and treatment provision.
- be provided a model for assessing the treatment needs of children exposed to intimate partner violence
- learn how to create a treatment plan using evidence-based interventions for conducting therapy
- learn about evidence-based treatment approaches for working with children exposed to IPV
