This unit will provide you with opportunities to develop specialist knowledge of safe and respectful approaches to working with victim/survivors of domestic and family violence (DFV). It provides a theoretical framework of trauma-informed intervention as it relates to victim/survivors of DFV. Using a gendered approach based on the Duluth Model, critical use is made of evidence-based research and practice addressing issues related to victim/survivors of DFV. You will explore legal and safety considerations that arise from working with this client group and you will consider ethical, professional and self-management implications for practice. Particular consideration will be given to priority populations (minority groups of DFV victim/survivors).
