Cultural Humility and Trauma-Informed Care in Working with Abusive Partners

Every group member with whom we interact is both similar to us and different from us in myriad ways.  How do we go about being mindful of these similarities and differences without falling into mistaken presumptions and biases?  This training will provide deeper and more comprehensive explanations of both cultural humility and trauma informed care, highlighting the common ground they share that is rarely mentioned or identified.  Included along the way will be an extended explanation of oppression and privilege.

Special Considerations in Identifying and Working with Women in Abuse Intervention Programming 

There is extensive evidence indicating that a substantial number of women who are arrested or mandated to abuse intervention do not have patterns of abuse and control.  This training will provide detailed information on how to differentiate between women who do and do not truly need abuse intervention programing.  The similarities and differences between male and female abusive partners and how to adequately address the distinct needs of female abusive partners will be discussed.  This workshop draws on 15 years of experience the staff at Allies in Change has in working separately with women who do and do not have patterns of abuse and control.
