About the Course

This course encourages people who work with whānau experiencing family violence to consider beyond the immediate risk indicators to assess the continuum of harm, recognise cumulative impact, and acts of victim-survivor resistance. Practitioners are supported to think holistically and introduced to safety strategising.

Through a whole of person approach to analysis of risk factors, understanding the harm continuum, and effective safety strategising, the wellbeing and safety of victim-survivors can be supported. ECLIPSE's Risk Analysis and Safety Strategising course helps practitioners gain a deeper understanding of this important aspect of their work.
