This course meets the California pre-licensure requirement for Spousal/Partner Abuse Detection and Intervention (15 clock hours) for Psychologists, MFTs, LCSWs, and LPCCs.
This course is based on three CEmobile courses:
Course Description: This course examines the major issues and current controversies in the field, provides background information on each type of family violence, and offers strategies for combating domestic abuse. In an informative discussion designed to enhance counselors’ ability to assess and treat each type of family violence, this course covers both well-recognized forms of maltreatment, such as the abuse of women, and less understood issues, such as female-on-male intimacy violence, same-sex violence, and dating violence and stalking. Case studies throughout the text illustrate clinical applications in action.
In addition, while there are numerous interventions designed to reduce trauma-induced mental health symptoms, most were originally developed to address events that have occurred in the past (e.g., combat, childhood sexual abuse). This course reviews the trauma-based treatments that have been designed or modified specifically for intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors and provides cautions and recommendations for moving forward.
Finally, this course includes a select group of strategies based on the best available evidence to help communities and states sharpen their focus on prevention activities with the greatest potential to reduce sexual violence (SV) and its consequences. These strategies focus on promoting social norms that protect against violence; teaching skills to prevent SV; providing opportunities, both economic and social, to empower and support girls and women; creating protective environments; and supporting victims/survivors to lessen harms.
