The Complexity of Domestic Abuse
Level 2 – 1.5hr Online Workshop
Introduction:
Suffering from domestic abuse may be just one of many challenges that a victim is facing.
This workshop explores both the manifestation of domestic abuse in terms of trauma and psychological torture but also explores different needs, vulnerabilities and barriers that both victims and perpetrators face which complicate the picture. These prevent any sustainable changes in their circumstances, and include Gender, Age, Mental Health, Substance Misuse as well as Unemployment – part of Alpha Vesta’s ‘Big 12’ Complexity Areas.
Different Ethnicities and LGBT communities also form part of the discussion in order to understand better the challenges that complicate domestic abuse. These complexity areas often facilitate the cycle of abuse further. Recognising the signs, fostering a non-judgemental and trauma-informed approach are all explored.
The session is designed for attendees to never question why someone ‘doesn’t just leave’ an abusive relationship.
This course is designed for anyone living and working within and across the community . We recommend that Level 1 is completed prior to attending our Core sessions and we also suggest that our Core sessions are completed in order from one to four if building towards our Advanced level 4.
