Introduction to Working with Men Using Family and Domestic Violence

A self-paced online course for practitioners who are new to working with men who use family and domestic violence.

Working with men who use violence asks practitioners to hold engagement and accountability together. This introductory course gives you the foundations: who uses family violence and why, what the evidence says, and how to work in ways that keep the safety and experiences of victim survivors and children at the centre.

You will learn to:

• separate the myths from the realities of men's use of family violence
• recognise coercive control as the pattern behind the incidents
• apply six effective intervention strategies and motivational interviewing skills
• notice smokescreens and lean into resistance without colluding
• practice in trauma-informed, ethical and culturally responsive ways, including with men from refugee backgrounds
• sustain yourself in the work through practitioner self-care

Includes a knowledge check, downloadable companion resources and Pandora practice graphics.
