SUMMARY:TOXIC LOVE: From Bystander to Active Responder Recognise the type of domestic violence – Respond confidently-eWorkshop- 12th and 19th – February- 2024
DESCRIPTION:Clinical psychologist Indira H. Novic and men’s health expert Dean Quirke shed new light on the epidemic of intimate partner abuse.\nThey explore the nature of repetitive patterns of abusive behaviours\, and the reasons the patterns tend to escalate in frequency and severity.\nReaching out to men motivated to stop abusing their partners\, theauthors draw on a psychoeducational approach and offer strategies to\nbreak free from the cycle of violence. By dismantling the dangerous aspects of the perpetrator’s personality that may have become addicted to abusing their family members\, perpetrators become freer to create healthier relationships.\nThe authors also use the psychoeducational approach to assist victims to heal from the trauma of abuse and help them to understand what drives an abuser to repeatedly abuse them. It is easier to heal\, relinquish self-blame and protect yourself when you can clearly see why you are experiencing abuse. \nWHO IS THE WORKSHOP FOR?\nThis workshop is for all members of the community responding to incidents of domestic and family violence; for people who want to improve skills in communicating with victims and intimate partner abusers; and for all those who want to gain deeper insights into the mechanics behind sustained patterns of domestic abuse. \nWHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THESE TWO DAYS? \nDay 1: \n\n\nYou’ll understand the difference between two types of domestic violence a) situational couple violence (conflict-initiated violence) and b) sustained pattern of violence (the repetitive patterns of violence; 95-98% of perpetrators are men). These two types of domestic violence have different root causes and consequences for the victims. \n\n\nYou’ll learn about two types of aggression – instrumental (proactive/predatory/premeditated) and reactive (impulsive/hostile) aggression. You’ll hear about the characteristics of intimate partner abusive behaviours: instrumental Cobra vs. reactive Pit Bull type. \n\n\nYou’ll better understand the concept of ‘coercive control’. You’ll hear why coercive control is referred to as intimate terrorism and why the victims feel entrapped. This information can help you to support the victims of DFV more effectively. \n\n\nYou’ll learn about female partners of abusive men – their reactions to abuse\, and factors that contribute to female victims sometimes being misidentified as perpetrators of DFV. \n\n\nDay 2: You’ll learn how to respond to intimate partner violence and help those in crisis. \nCommunity members responding to domestic violence situations is not the problem. It’s part of the solution! Partnership with the community is absolutely essential! \n– Inspector Ben Martain Queensland Police Service Accurately identifying the person most in need of protection  \nBYSTANDER\nTo remain neutral is to collude with the abusive man\,whether or not that is your goal.\n\nIf you are aware of chronic or severe mistreatment and do not speak out against it\, your silence communicates implicitly that you see nothing unacceptable taking place.\nAbusers interpret silence as approval\, or at least as forgiveness. To abused women\, meanwhile\, the silence means that no one will help—just what her partner wants her to believe. Anyone who chooses to quietly look the other way therefore unwittingly becomes the abuser’s ally. \n– Lundy Bancroft\, a consultant on domestic abuse and an author of the book:\nWhy Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men \nACTIVE RESPONDER\nA – Assess the victim’s situation; acknowledge their experience.\nC – Communicate with compassion; include all those caught up in the cycle of abuse.\nT – Timely response to provide support/report.\nI – Investigate or inquire\, through using open questions.\nV – Validate feelings and experiences.\nE – Empower through emotional coaching.\n– Dean Quirke mens health and wellbeing expert and a co-author of the book: Toxic Love: Breaking the Addictive Patterns of Domestic Abuse \nWhen: Monday 12th and Monday 19th February from 9.30am to 12.30pm each day.
