An opportunity to learn more about domestic abuse – often referred to as the ‘hidden crime’.
This course is aimed at counsellors and counsellors in training.
Domestic abuse is often referred to as the ‘hidden crime’ because it is committed by those who are closest to us, it contradicts societal expectations and, more importantly, it brings in to question the stereotypical view of ‘the family’. Indicators of domestic abuse can often be very subtle and easily confused with caring and attentiveness and so are both difficult to see and hard to accept.
Domestic abuse affects all ages, ethnicities, sexes and social groups and the effects are wide reaching. This training session has been designed primarily to increase awareness but also to alert professionals to the services that are available and to provide more information so that we can provide the best support for our clients.
