Domestic violence- counselling

Domestic Violence Counselling for Victim and Abuser

Domestic violence counselling and domestic violence therapy represent powerful tools for helping victims of domestic violence get to safety and heal. Abused adults and children both need domestic violence counselling in order to move past their traumatic experiences. Left untreated, physically and emotionally abused children carry the emotional and physical scars of the abuse into adulthood. When this type of trauma is left to itself, it may manifest in adulthood in the form of lost jobs, broken relationships, substance abuse, and other unhealthy behaviour.

What Is Domestic Abuse Counselling?

Domestic abuse counselling frequently refers to multiservice community agencies that provide advocacy and intervention services for women and families. These services provide emergency shelter and safe homes (battered women shelters), support groups, legal counselling, and various advocacy services for victims of domestic abuse. The services they offer can mean the difference between despair and hope and even life or death in some cases. They are in place to provide emergency help and advocacy counselling in crisis situations, not as long-term solutions. While some community centres may have licensed therapists on-hand to provide therapy for adults and children, most do not.

Benefits of Domestic Violence Therapy

Both the victim and the perpetrator of domestic violence can benefit from domestic violence therapy. Victims of domestic abuse can visit a licensed therapist to learn how to cope with the emotional trauma that's often left behind even after they've left an abusive relationship. Abuse victims, still in the abusive environment, can get help with building up their self-esteem and recognizing abuse in their relationship through therapy. (Take the Domestic Violence Screening Test)

The idea is to help them become strong enough to leave the situation. Victim domestic abuse therapy addresses familial history and early childhood relationships that may have made them more likely to enter into and stay in an abusive intimate relationship. (Why Victims of Domestic Violence Stay in Abusive Relationships) For example, abused children may grow up to become abusers themselves or become victims of abuse.

Abusers may benefit from domestic abuse therapy by learning how to recognize triggers, manage anger, and stop blaming others for their failures and shortcomings. Certain types of therapy can help abusers investigate childhood events and situations that contributed to their violent behaviour as adults.

Although some therapists offer joint programs for the abuser and victim, this practice is the subject of intense debate and controversy, as many believe it can put the victim in grave danger. The only type of treatment for abusers, currently supported by research, involves batterer intervention programs that address all types of domestic violence.

Abused children, or children who have witnessed abuse, will benefit greatly from domestic abuse counselling and therapy. A therapist who specializes in treating child victims of domestic violence will use play therapy, games, and trust building activities to help children rebuild their self-perceptions and their trust of adults.

Finding Domestic Violence Counselling and Therapy

People can find domestic violence counselling and therapy by calling their local women's shelter, by visiting a community mental health centre, by calling their county psychological association or local United Way. These organizations will have domestic violence help resources to share with you, including phone numbers for nearby counsellors and therapists specializing in domestic violence. There are also many online directories with listings of therapists by state. If you know a friend who sees a therapist or attends counselling for any reason (not necessarily domestic abuse therapy), have them ask their counsellor to share the phone numbers of domestic violence counsellors or licensed therapists in the area.

Domestic violence- trained police

What Police Are Trained to Do

While policies differ from city to city, it can be helpful for survivors to understand the common threads for how police are trained to respond. The first concept is to treat domestic violence calls as a high priority or a life-threatening situation. Because of this perspective, and importantly for survivors to know, many departments will continue to respond even if the victim cancels the request.

Next is to approach carefully, meaning officers are trained to apply discretion when using emergency lights and sirens and to observe and listen before announcing their presence. This can improve everyone’s safety and also expose important evidence, such as an active confrontation.

Sending two officers is a best practice as well. On occasion, balancing the need to urgently respond and having two officers arriving on scene simultaneously can be a challenge, especially in areas where units are positioned far apart. Dispatching two officers can make quickly juggling a multitude of tasks more manageable, such as checking arrest warrants and prior history, and identifying and separating the victim and perpetrator.

Once on scene, keeping the abuser and victim out of sight and hearing of each other can increase the odds of each person speaking candidly without the influence of the other. It also helps officers determine if firearms are on the premises and to remove them; 79 percent of cases in a study of 358 police law enforcement agencies by the Police Executive Research Forum involved finding and confiscating firearms.

Collecting evidence is another priority. Many agencies require officers to take pictures of the victim’s injuries and the crime scene; interview and obtain written, audio or video statements from the parties, neighbours or witnesses; and create detailed occurrence reports whether or not an arrest is made. Nearly 9 in 10 agencies record incidents by location and 7 in 10 record them by individual to help officers of future investigations understand the history, according to the same study.

Bottom of Form

Conducting a risk assessment to determine the level of danger for the victim, and whether a safety plan should be encouraged, is required by 42 percent of agencies. Of course, if you’re experiencing violence, a safety plan is always something to consider developing, regardless. Some agencies train officers to provide victims with community resources and the protocol for some includes making follow up visits.

Mandatory Arrest

Many agencies require officers to make an arrest under certain conditions, such as evidence of an assault, violation of a protection order and other offenses where physical evidence exists or that an officer witnessed. This is known as a mandatory arrest policy and it can be valuable for a survivor to know in advance whether local authorities use this practice.

Debate over mandatory arrest exists. Some say it gives the victim a break from the violence and time to consult with advocates. Others point out the all-too-common reality of domestic violence: where seemingly positive steps to address the violence can backfire, in this instance the possibility of an arrest leading to escalated violence at another time.

Domestic Violence- Advocate Interview

Domestic Violence Advocate Interview

Working as a domestic violence advocate is serious business. How do you qualify?
Apart from possessing a degree in human services and 12 years of dedicated experience in a domestic violence advocate role, I believe that I have the skills and knowledge of the criminal justice system that makes a person working at this position exceptionally qualified. Where personal attributes are concerned, I am a great mix of patience and perseverance, and can easily handle demanding cases to ensure that they reach fruition.

What is your take on domestic violence?
I believe that domestic violence is a curse. Eradicating it may be difficult, but if more people contribute, things can become somewhat easier to handle, as curbing it won’t be such a hassle.

Isn’t it difficult to stay detached from victims that you are advocating a case for? How do you do it?
Yes, it can become a bit emotionally challenging when representing a victim. But the training that I have received over the years has made sure that I stay as detached as possible without coming across as tactless!

What is the most challenging case that you have handled up till now?
I was assigned to handle a case where the woman who was always battered by her husband, refused to come forward and admit that she was in an abusive relationship. Convincing her that this was the right thing to do and instilling confidence into her was the most challenging thing I’ve done.

Where children are concerned, do you have a different handling method?
For sure. Where children are concerned, I make use of my “friendly” avatar instead of the “helpful” one. They are trickier to handle.

Domestic violence advocates sometimes work on more cases than one. How do you prioritize?
I often work on more than one case at a time. My priorities are based on who needs my services more unless otherwise instructed by my superiors.
