How to Evaluate and Treat LGBTQ+ Domestic Violence Offenders
DESCRIPTION: This redesigned and updated 14-hour training will enable participants to better understand, assess, and treat LGBTQ Domestic Violence Offenders.

The course will emphasize cultural history and terminology, clinical data and research, as well as assessment, evaluation, and treatment, including planning, placement, and population specific accessibility. It will address challenges of inclusivity and unique power-and-control dynamics. Illustrative video excerpts will enhance the participant’s experience. Let it be noted, this presentation is a DVOMB approved training for the Special Client Population. For SOMB approved providers, this training can count towards hours for your renewal application.
