On-Site Training

 

Change is a difficult process, and supporting survivors of intimate partner violence on thier journey toward safety and healing can be challenging for advocates and other helping professionals, because each survivor is in a different place in the change process. Following the model developed by Prochaska and DiClemente, this workshop will explore the ways in which victims of violence and trauma might move in (and out) of stages of readiness to change or to take steps toward healing. Through interactive discussions and key examples, the facilitator will offer several key strategies to support a client within each stage of change.

Description: This 2 day, in-person training, created specifically for executive directors and staff in supervisory positions, will provide an overview of the Ingredients for Effective Supervisory Practice. Together, these approaches are trauma-informed and can be implemented by supervisors with their supervisees working in domestic violence programs.  Attendees will gain understanding of the three functions of supervision (education, support and administration) and strategies for accountability, transparency and staff growth and development. The training will highlight the benefits of incorporating these ingredients into our work to counter burn-out, compassion fatigue and secondary trauma.

Virtual Follow-Up Zoom Sessions as well.
