The E-MARIA team proudly presents the two training handbooks that have been developed and piloted in the previous months:
- Training manual for professionals: Risk assessement & Management
- Traiing for trainers providing training for survivors: Empowerment & Autonomy
The main aims of the training course for professionals are:
- To deepen the knowledge on domestic violence;
- To understand the risk dynamics and the process of risk identification, assessment and management;
- To promote the collaboration among stakeholders involved in the support and safety planning process, as well as to develop formal and informal networks;
- To contribute to survivor’s recovery and consequently their empowerment and autonomy, and to prevent further victimization.
The training programme is designed for training to sensitise relevant professional groups. It includes fundamental information on the issue of intimate partner violence against women which is relevant for all vocational groups as well as more detailed information for professionals who actually deal with IPV. Special importance is given to risk assessment, i.e. the formal application of instruments to assess the likelihood that intimate partner violence will be repeated and will escalate, and risk management, in order to prevent further acts of violence, including murder.
The training contents are as follows:
