Recognising and Responding to Domestic and Family Violence (Micro-Credential)
Offered by Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC)
Recognising domestic and family violence is typically not straightforward. Clients may be reluctant to disclose what is happening for them as a result of fear, shame and stigma. Clients may present with multiple issues that, on the surface, appear to be unrelated to their intimate or family relationships. They might also not recognise what they are experiencing as domestic and family violence. This upskill micro-credential will help increase your confidence to support clients who are experiencing, or at risk of, domestic and family violence.
Participants will:
- Understand the prevalence of domestic and family violence in Australia
- Examine the impacts of domestic and family violence on individuals and groups
- Understand the different ways to recognise if a client is experiencing domestic and family violence
- Learn how to respond appropriately to clients disclosing an experience of domestic and family violence
