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.

Core Training explores the importance of:

Identifying the impact of domestic violence on children and family functioning

Gathering a fact-based assessment of the perpetrators’ behavior patterns

Partnering with survivors of domestic violence

Intervening with perpetrators

Understanding how domestic violence intersects with other issues like substance abuse and mental health
