Intervening with Batterers: A Child Protection Service Imperative (Pre-Conference Seminar G)
Intervening with Batterers: A Child Protection Service Imperative
(Pre-Conference Seminar G)
The presenter leads participants in an exploration of how child protection agencies can improve their capacity to address the risk that batterers represent to children and families. By providing alternative strategies for intervening in domestic violence cases, an agency can avoid unnecessarily re-victimizing the adult victim and shift the responsibility for the risk to the children onto the person creating that risk. Following a review of efforts in Connecticut to improve Child Protection Service (CPS) response to domestic violence perpetrators, the seminar provides participants with the opportunity to examine CPS practice in their own agencies, to discuss barriers to implementing batterer intervention strategies, and to identify concrete steps to achieving system change.
