This on-demand professional training program on Evidence-Based Practices in Partner Abuse Treatment: Assessment and Working with Victims is presented by John Hamel, PhD, LCSW.

Evidence-based practices (EBPs) in partner abuse treatment refer to therapeutic approaches and interventions that have been rigorously studied and proven effective in addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence. This program covers a range of evidence-based interventions designed to hold perpetrators accountable, promote victim safety, and reduce the risk of reoffending. This program allows you to better understand the definitions and applications of evidence-based practice in the context of partner abuse.

This program is intended to be a sequel to the previous presentation - Understanding Intimate Partner Abuse: Assessment and Intervention which provides more guidance on assessment methods.

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.

Topics covered include:

  • Current models and research literature
  • Evidence-based practice
  • Assessment methods
  • Victim issues
