Course Description: Social workers in all areas of practice will encounter survivors of intimate partner violence. Safety planning can empower survivors to mitigate the risks posed to their safety by both their abusive partner and the complex life circumstances they face. Ethical practice with persons experiencing intimate partner violence requires the adoption of a survivor-defined approach, which takes as its starting point the goals, needs, and circumstances of the individual survivor. Effective safety planning incorporates an understanding of lethality factors that place survivors at increased risk for homicide by abusive partners. In this training, participants will be provided with an overview of a survivor-defined approach to safety planning, with emphasis on the specific skills of risk analysis and lethality assessment.
