Safe & Together CORE Training - 4 Days
Delivered using First Nations Strategies
The Safe & Together Model is an international, perpetrator pattern–based framework for transforming how systems and practitioners respond to domestic abuse and threats to child well-being. It applies a child-centered, strengths-based, and systems-informed approach that shifts the focus from blaming protective caregivers—usually mothers—to holding perpetrators accountable as parents.
Safe & Together’s four-day Core Training is designed to give practitioners a skills-oriented foundation for domestic abuse–informed practice. This training provides key skills and learnings for participants to implement the Safe & Together Model into their practice.
Each day of training provides experiential classroom training focused on the following foundational practice areas: Assessment, Interviewing & Engagement, Documentation, and Case Planning & Intervention
Participants of the Core Training will:
-
Learn to use practice tools, such as our Perpetrator Pattern Mapping Tool, that can be implemented right away to improve assessment of risk, impact on children, survivor protective efforts, and essential case decisions.
-
Practice interviewing perpetrators, survivors, and children through modeling, role play, and videos.
-
Improve domestic abuse–informed documentation through individual and group exercises.
-
Discuss current or past cases and explore how the Safe & Together Model could be implemented.
-
Develop action plans to support implementation of the Model to improve your day-to-day practice and influence your communities and family service systems to become more domestic abuse–informed.
-
Complete a pre- and post-test as well as a training evaluation.
Participants who attend all four days and take the post-test will receive a certificate of completion, which indicates they participated in 22 training hours
