Topic: Building Bridges: Domestic Violence/Intimate Partner Violence Specialists Making a Difference in Child Welfare

Hosted By: Futures Without Violence

Date/Time:  Thursday, October 13, 2022 at 5:00am - 6:30am ChST

Description: In this 90-minute webinar, DV/IPV Specialists in Illinois, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania will share their experiences and actionable insights from working at the intersection of domestic violence and child welfare.

Child welfare professionals in many states benefit from having regular access to expert consultation from domestic violence specialists who can help them assess a situation, create a family plan, facilitate access to services and resources, conduct safety planning and/or transfer learning through training and coaching. The partnership works best when child welfare and DV professionals invest in developing relationships in which different perspectives can be discussed and debated openly, and where decisions are informed by the lived experience and wisdom of survivors themselves. Learning objectives

1. Understand the roles and value of DV/IPV Specialists working collaboratively with child welfare agencies.

2. Appreciate the critical need to understand and respond to the unique circumstances of families experiencing DV.

3. Learn about relational/supportive strategies for effective engagement and accountability with the person using violence to create pathways to survivor safety and change.
