Purpose:
When working with survivors of domestic violence it often important to refer or have a collaborative relationship with the local domestic violence advocates to adequately address the survivors needs. Therefore, the goal of this assignment is to learn how to locate and access those resources and familiarize yourself the services that those agencies provide to survivors, as well as identify when referral and access to specialize services is warranted.
Instructions:
This assignment will have two parts. First exploring resources available to women who may be experiencing DV in their relationship.
Research DV shelters in your area and what services they provide to survivors of DV. You can use the Department of Children and Families website.
For the second part of the assignment you will review the attached case studies and explore what red flags you believe are present, how you would proceed with assessing the client, and what treatment recommendations would you consider.
