For organisations who have some experience of domestic abuse counselling work already, we can offer separate, stand-alone, training workshops on topics that are likely to be of interest to practitioners working in this area. This training can be designed to specifically meet the needs of the organisation and can include topics such as:

​

• Understanding Domestic Abuse and Mental Health;

• Using the Domestic Abuse Counselling Model with clients;

• Therapeutic skills for Domestic Abuse Counselling;

•  Working with Complex Trauma

• Creative Approaches for Working with Complex Trauma

• Developing strong Therapeutic Relationships with people who have experienced abuse;

• Coercive Control;

• The Effects of Domestic Abuse on Children and Young People;

• Domestic Abuse and Court: supporting clients;

• Domestic Abuse work and Counselling Ethics.

 

​​​We offer the training is this way to provide a more cost effective way to train larger numbers of staff, or employees, who need specific training in one or more aspects of the work. Over the last 12 months we have delivered training for HE organisations (including York St John University) and third sector organisations (including the Gaddum Centre in Manchester).

​

The training is primarily given by Jeannette Roddy, an expert in the field. Training can last from half a day to several days. We can deliver on-line or in-person to meet your needs.

 

If you think we might be able to help your organisation to work better with domestic abuse, get in touch via our contact form or via email. We will usually get back to you within 48 hours to arrange to time to talk over what your needs are and how we can meet them. We will then produce an quote for the work. If you decide to accept it, we then agree a date for the training. It really is that simple!
