40-HOUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TRAINING
Family Shelter Service of Metropolitan Family Services DuPage appreciates your interest in our 40-Hour Domestic Violence Training session!
Domestic violence is a complex and pervasive issue that affects one out of three women and one out of four men in their lifetime. The Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Professionals (ICDVP) therefore requires that all domestic violence staff, interns and volunteers who wish to provide direct services to victims complete a minimum of 40 hours of domestic violence training.
Family Shelter Service of Metropolitan Family Services DuPage (FSS of MFSD) has been approved by the ICDVP Board of Directors to offer this training. Our professional facilitators offer this training up to 8 times per year and trainings are open to professionals and community members who wish to deepen their understanding of domestic violence and learn how to connect survivors with life-saving services.
Topics covered include a variety of essentials for working with survivors of domestic violence. A few to highlight include:
- Foundations of Domestic Violence
- Effects of Domestic Violence on Children
- Services for Survivors
- Legal Issues
- Underserved Populations
- Safety & Assessment
