Safe & Together™ Model CORE Training: A Transformative Approach to Addressing Domestic Abuse.

Key Focus:
The Safe & Together™ Model CORE Training equips professionals with a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to intervene in domestic violence cases effectively. This training emphasizes a "whole of family" approach, focusing on protecting children while empowering survivors and holding perpetrators accountable.

About Safe & Together™ Model CORE Training
Safe & Together Institute’s CORE Training offers four days of experiential classroom training covering each of these foundational skills.

Day 1 is focused on Assessment

Day 2 is focused on Interviewing

Day 3 is focused on Documentation

Day 4 is focused on Case Planning

CORE Training explores the importance of:

Identifying the impact of domestic violence on children and family functioning.

Fact-based assessment of the perpetrators' behaviour patterns.

Partnering with adult survivors of domestic violence.

Intervening with perpetrators.

How domestic violence intersects with complicating factors like substance abuse and mental health.

Participants of the CORE Training will:

Learn to use practice tools, such as Mapping Perpetrators’ Patterns, Multiple Pathways to Harm and Pivoting that can be implemented right away to improve assessment of risk, impact on children, survivor protective efforts and essential case decisions.

Practice interviewing perpetrators, survivors and children through modelling, role play and videos.

Improve their domestic violence-informed documentation through individual and group exercises.

Be discussing their own current or past cases and explore how the Safe & Together Model could be implemented.

Also included in CORE Training:

Participants will develop their own Action Plans to implement the Model into their day-to-day practice, as well as begin to influence their communities and family service systems to become more domestic violence informed.

Participants will complete a pre- and post-test to reflect learning, as well as a training evaluation. Participants who attend all four days and take the post-test will receive a certificate of completion, which indicates they participated in 22 training hours.

A prerequisite to becoming a Safe & Together Model Certified Trainer and/or Coach includes an 80% or higher on the CORE Training post-test.
