This on-demand professional training program on Advanced Strategies in Partner Abuse Interventions: Working with Perpetrators, the Systems Perspective and Family Interventions is presented by John Hamel, PhD, LCSW

This program presents advanced techniques and approaches to address the complexities of intimate partner violence (IPV) more effectively. This program demonstrates best-practice strategies in working with perpetrators and victims within various modalities like individual, group, and couples/family therapy.

This program is intended to be a sequel to the previous presentation - Evidence-Based Practices in Partner Abuse Treatment and Evidence-Based Practices in Partner Abuse Treatment, which provides more guidance on evidence-based practice. It is also encouraged that participants attend part 1, Understanding Intimate Partner Abuse: Current Models, Theory, and Research, prior to registering for this event.

This program is intended for mental health professionals who are already grounded in the basics of counseling and therapy. Ideal participants include those with at least one year of clinical experience under supervision. This program applies to a wide range of work environments, recognizing that the skills in detecting intimate partner abuse are essential in diverse settings. Including those practicing in a private clinic, contributing to a community center, or part of a government agency, this program enriches your expertise. The primary focus here is on enhancing treatment techniques, with less emphasis on policy aspects.

The 5-hour course is structured to meet the California psychologist pre-licensure coursework requirement for training in Spousal or Partner Abuse Assessment, Detection, and Intervention Strategies for Psychologists as required by the California Board of Psychology.

Topics covered Include:

  • Current models and research literature
