Genesis Lunch & Learn: Safety Planning in IPV

Bring your lunch & join us every 4th Thursday

Description: Safety planning is an essential part of working with victims of domestic violence. Safety planning begins with helping clients identify what they are already doing to minimize the risk of harm. We recognize that a victim cannot stop the abusive partner from abusing her. However, when we can equip her with safety planning ideas, she can feel more confident and competent in navigating her specific situation in a way that hopefully decreases the likelihood of the escalation of violence.

This workshop will guide participants through the process of safety planning with victims of intimate partner violence. We will explore the danger signs of physical safety, identifying what factors can increase a victim’s danger level. Participants will also gain awareness of the emotional safety needs of victims of domestic violence. Finally, participants will practice safety planning through client scenarios.
