Domestic Abuse Counselling Training Info

Service Description

Working with domestic abuse clients is complicated work. Sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming, not just for the content, but also for the interaction between you and the client. It takes a very particular set of skills to be able to work with this client group. In this session, you will be introduced the Domestic Abuse Counselling (DAC) model, together with the competency framework for counsellors working in this area, so that you can understand some of the challenges and pitfalls involved and why training in this specialism can be particularly helpful. The event will also introduce the Domestic Abuse Counselling Training Course. DACTC is a big commitment for trainee and qualified practitioners, taking 4 very full days. This free event allows you to ask any questions you might have before booking. For example: How is domestic abuse counselling a specialism? Why do we have breaks between the days, rather than just one week of training? How is this different to the training I had to qualify as a counsellor? What are the benefits of doing the training? What will I learn? This event is a Q&A with Dr Jeannette Roddy, who leads the course. Jeannette has worked and conducted research into this area for over 15 years and is the author of two books on this subject. This is your opportunity to ask the questions and Jeannette will answer them! She is looking forward to meeting you at the event!
