Safe & Together™ Model 2-day Supervisor Training — Darwin by Empowering Growth

Domestic abuse is a complex issue that presents significant challenges for many government and non-government agencies. Effective handling requires specialized skills, confidence, and knowledge. Supervising workers in a domestic abuse context provides them with the necessary support and guidance to work effectively with adult and child survivors, intervene with perpetrators, and prioritize safety for all involved.

This in-person training equips supervisors and managers with the essential tools to guide their workers in applying a perpetrator pattern-based approach to casework. The training focuses on three critical supervisory skills:

assessing and supporting worker practice quality

making informed decisions and providing guidance

managing worker safety

Prerequisite: This 2-day training is designed for practitioners who have successfully completed the Safe & Together™ Model CORE Training and are eager to apply these techniques and knowledge to their supervisory roles.

We strongly recommend that supervisors not only have a thorough understanding of the Model but also actively incorporate it into their daily work within the agency, department, or unit.
