John Hamel, PhD, LCSW, presents this live professional training program on Advanced Strategies in Partner Abuse Interventions: Working with Perpetrators, the Systems Perspective, and Family Interventions.
This program will present advanced techniques and approaches to address the complexities of intimate partner violence (IPV) more effectively. This program will demonstrate best-practice strategies in working with perpetrators and victims within various modalities like individual, group, and couples/family therapy.
This program is intended to be a sequel to the previous presentation - Evidence-Based Practices in Partner Abuse Treatment: Assessment and Working with Victims, which provides more guidance on evidence-based practices. It is also encouraged that participants attend part 1, Understanding Intimate Partner Abuse: Assessment and Intervention, which provides more guidance on assessment methods
This program is intended for mental health professionals who are already grounded in the basics of counseling and therapy. Ideal participants include those with at least one year of clinical experience under supervision. This program is applicable to a wide range of work environments, recognizing that the skills in detecting intimate partner abuse are essential in diverse settings. Including those practicing in a private clinic, contributing to a community center, or part of a government agency, this program will enrich your expertise. The primary focus here is on enhancing treatment techniques, with less emphasis on policy aspects.
The program includes traditional lectures. Participants will receive a copy of the handouts and case studies for discussion in breakout rooms. Dr. Hamel will have several question-and-answer sessions formatted to enhance understanding of the material.
Topics covered include:
- Current models and research literature
- Evidence-based practice
- Intimate partner abuse and its effects on children
- Assessment methods
- Victim issues
- Perpetrator treatment
