This live-stream course focuses on working systemically with families (non-offending parent, children, grandparents, etc) in the aftermath of domestic and family violence. Once the safety of mothers and their children has been established there is usually a sense of relief on the part of clients and workers. In many instances there is also disappointment and despair that significant difficulties within the family remain, change or get worse.
This course aims to offer an understanding of why relationship difficulties between family members now in a safe environment, remain or escalate. A range of interventions is presented, for you to assist families to understand and manage the difficulties often experienced in the aftermath of family and domestic violence.
