About the Course
ECLIPSE's Risk Analysis and Safety Strategising: A Whole of Person Approach course encourages people who work with whānau experiencing family violence to consider beyond the immediate risk indicators to assess the continuum of harm, recognise cumulative impact, and acts of victim-survivor resistance. Practitioners are supported to think holistically and introduced to safety strategising.
Through attending this course you'll:
-
Be introduced to the concept of victim-survivor resistance and ECLIPSE's Whole of Person Approach.
-
Have a greater understanding of how to analyse risk, consider the cumulative impact of harm, and identify other unseen areas of harm (such as retaliatory violence and gang association).
-
Develop insight into protective factors and safety strategies victim-survivors utilise to keep themselves and their whānau safe.
-
Learn about how to undertake safety strategising and safety planning.
-
Grow in awareness and knowledge of the dynamics of family violence and how you can respond in a more empathetic manner.
ECLIPSE training courses align with the principles of Te Aorerekura: National Strategy to Eliminate Family Violence and Sexual Violence.
