The complexity of risk and safety shapes work with victims and offenders of domestic violence in multiple settings.

Register for this event

This training addresses risk, culture, assumptions, and institutional impacts to help practitioners to partner more effectively with others to work towards victim safety and offender accountability. Victim/survivors need support for autonomy; many offenders can be engaged in a change process and be held accountable. Dismantling the misconceptions we have about victims' and offenders' day-to-day lives enables more effective work across disciplines to prevent domestic violence.

Prerequisite: Shine's Introductory 1 Day Training: Responding Effectively to Victims of Domestic Violence. If you have attended equivalent training, please contact Shine to discuss.

  • Theory-based understanding of the context of domestic violence
  • Intervention with offenders and risk reduction

  • Domestic violence and people with disabilities
