This workshop is designed for GPs and primary care providers who already have a base knowledge of how to identify when violence is occurring and safely engage with people who use violence.
The workshop aims to offer a deeper focus on enhancing confidence to respond safely and sensitively to disclosures of using domestic violence and how to access appropriate referral pathways. It will also cover how to consider the whole family when working with people who use violence.
Learning outcomes:
Respond sensitively and appropriately to disclosures of using domestic or family violence.
Discuss how to use motivational interviewing and strengths-based principles to explore behaviour and attitudinal change.
Discuss care of the whole family when a perpetrator and survivor are patients of the same practice.
Identify how to access appropriate referral pathways for patients who have used domestic or family violence.
