A two-day specialist course that provides advanced knowledge and skills required to work with and engage users of violence to assist them in taking responsibility for their violence, and to work towards changing their behaviour and enhancing the safety of their family.

This course utilises several therapeutic approaches to equip participants with the tools required to establish the user’s willingness to change, confirm the user’s responsibilities, and work respectfully with the user to plan and monitor changes. This relationship creates the context for the intervention and is constructed within a framework that promotes user responsibility, accountability, self-agency, and direction toward change while maintaining a focus on the safety of others.

This course utilised the state-based risk assessment tools and has been developed in line with national competency CHCDFV007 Work with users of violence to effect change and CHCDFV009 Establish change promoting relationship with users of domestic and family violence.
