Domestic Violence Safety Plan: “What is it?
Date: October 31st, 2016
Time: 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
Being in an abusive situation can feel incredibly scary and isolating, and if children are involved – even if they are indirectly witnessing the abuse – it can become a lot more complicated and dangerous. A parent’s instinct is to make sure their child is safe, but how can a parent do this best if the abusive partner is unpredictable or manipulative? If a caregiver is in an abusive relationship, a safety plan may help her/him and the children stay safe when violence is happening in the home. To gain more knowledge of:
- The difference between a DFCS child protective services safety plan and a domestic violence safety plan.
- How to develop a domestic violence safety plan for the non-offending caregiver and the children.
- How to access the domestic violence service providers to help with safety planning and additional resources.
