Welcome, Healers.Beyond Power and Control is committed to providing top notch training opportunities and resources for professionals working with families touched by domestic violence. When 1 in 3 women and 1 in 9 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime*, doesn’t it seem ridiculous that many graduate programs do not spend any time teaching how to assess for and work within the dynamics of the power and control cycle? Research has shown that traditional and evidenced based trauma treatments are not successful and can be harmful in working with victims and survivors of domestic violence without specific modifications.** This website and training opportunities will help you feel competent and confident when working with this undeserved population.
Thank you for your willingness to continue learning to best help these families! |
