Addressing Women's Use of Force in Abuser Intervention Programs

Women's violence differs from men's in regard to motivation, intent, and impact, yet most programs providing services for women who use force in interpersonal relationships continue to rely on program material designed for heterosexual male offenders. The National Partnership to End Interpersonal Violence Across the Lifespan (NPEIV) invites you to join us for a two-hour training that will discuss gender-responsive interventions and evidence-informed strategies available to address women's violence. Evaluations tools will be reviewed to measure changes in their thinking and beliefs about violence toward their partners.
