Advanced Facilitation Details

Advanced Facilitation: Addressing Attachment Issues in Batterer Intervention Programs

Over the past few decades, the influence of insecure attachment patterns in intimate partner abusers has been explored, yet this dynamic has not been incorporated into abuser intervention programming on a wide scale. When we examine the characteristics which describe the behaviors of those persons with dismissing, preoccupied, or fearful attachment styles, it easily corroborates many of the behaviors found in the clients who enter abuser intervention programs. Identifying the attachment style of the client could contribute to better program responsivity, which is consistent with research informed best practices.

More information:
This advanced, 8-hr, virtual workshop, designed for group facilitators of batterer intervention and anger management programs, will provide an overview of the attachment styles, both secure and insecure, and how they are revealed in the interpersonal offender population. We will examine how evidence-based treatment strategies help us create a secure base thereby contributing to increased engagement and reduced long-term recidivism. Participants will gain practical tools to address attachment-related challenges in batterer intervention programs (BIPs) and promote healthier relationship dynamics.

Upon completion of the workshop participants will be able to:
1. Explain the connection between attachment theory and abusive behaviors in intimate partner relationships.
2. Identify common attachment styles and how they manifest in individuals who engage in acts of violence.
3. Recognize maladaptive coping mechanisms linked to insecure attachment and their role in relationship dynamics.
4. Utilize facilitation strategies to help clients explore their attachment history and its impact on their behaviors.
5. Apply intervention techniques that promote accountability while addressing attachment-related resistance.
6. Incorporate attachment-focused discussions into BIP and Anger Management curricula to enhance client self-awareness and behavior change.

Participants will be provided with a reproducible lesson which address’ attachment and its role in violence reduction.

Advanced Facilitation: Addressing Stalking Behaviors in Batterer Intervention Programs

Research shows that Stalking is far more prevalent within domestic violence relationships than what is captured by arrest statistics; yet, when not accounted for, can lead to greater perpetration of violence and lethality.

More information:
This advanced, 8-hr, virtual workshop, designed for group facilitators of batterer intervention and anger management programs, explores the intersection of stalking behaviors and violence, equipping facilitators with the knowledge and skills to identify, address, and intervene in stalking-related behaviors. Participants will learn intervention techniques, facilitation strategies, and ways to incorporate stalking-specific content into abuser intervention programs.

Upon completion of the workshop participants will be able to:
1. Define and identify stalking behaviors commonly exhibited by individuals in abuser intervention programs.
2. Explain the psychological and emotional motivations behind stalking behaviors.
3. Recognize cognitive distortions and minimization strategies used by offenders to justify stalking.
4. Utilize intervention techniques to challenge denial, increase accountability, and reduce stalking behaviors.
5. Apply structured facilitation techniques to manage discussions around stalking safely and effectively.
6. Incorporate stalking-specific content into existing curricula while maintaining a trauma-informed approach.
Participants will be provided with a reproducible lesson which address’ stalking and how to reduce stalking beliefs and behaviors in clients.

 

All classes held via interactive ZOOM.
