Working with Perpetrators Towards Change - 27, 28 April 2023 (CPD Certified)

This training will equip participants with an understanding of domestic abuse dynamics, risk and risk assessment,  gender, perpetrator presentations and typologies. We will explore best practice for engaging perpetrators without collusion, and working through minimisation, denial and blame using motivational interviewing skills.
