The training will provide an overview of
relationship violence, including statistics of the prevalence of relationship
violence in the U.S. as well as risk and protective factors related to
relationship violence. We will also review therapeutic approaches that are
supportive to individuals and families healing from relationship violence. This
training will also review relationship violence in the context of the dynamics
of power within interpersonal relationships as well as power in relation to a
greater context in society, such as the oppressive forces that individuals that
hold marginalized identities are harmed by which exacerbates risk to
relationship violence.
