If you are a provider who wants to learn more about trauma-informed IPV intervention, or you want to be able to deliver Strength at Home yourself, you can join one of our trainings. The program director, Dr. Casey Taft, is currently conducting all Strength at Home provider trainings not included in the national Department of Veterans Affairs rollout, and these are being led virtually. Continuing education (CE) hours are available for these trainings.
The 2-day intensive training covers:
(a) The theoretical foundation for Strength at Home including discussion of IPV risk factors and models to help understand the etiology of IPV and the role of trauma, negative life events, and core themes;
(b) Research evidence supporting the effectiveness of Strength at Home;
(c) Motivational strategies for use with those who engage in IPV; and
(d) A step-by-step review of all material for each of the twelve intervention sessions, complete with role plays and opportunities for discussion and feedback.
After completing this 2-day training, you will also be invited to a half day Strength at Home Couples training if you wish to also be trained in this program, as well as monthly group consultation calls led by Dr. Taft at no additional cost. You will receive all group manuals and other relevant materials to conduct the intervention groups.
Please contact us here to let us know if you would like to sign up for our training. We will work with you and other trainees to schedule a mutually convenient time.
