Domestic Violence: Assessment and Treatment:
A 32 Hour Online Class for Facilitators of Batterers Intervention Programs
32 CEU's for Licensed Marriage & Family Therapists & Licensed Clinical Social Workers
California Penal Code requires that facilitators of Batterers Intervention Programs (1203.097c) receive 40 hours of core basic training and 16 hours of yearly continuing education. This 32 hours continuing education program will meet all but one of the core training requirements. By law, 8 hours of the core training “…shall be provided by a shelter-based or shelter-approved trainer.” Additionally, the law states that the training must include “A minimum of eight hours in basic domestic violence knowledge focusing on victim safety and the role of domestic violence shelters in a community-coordinated response.” Therefore you must receive 8 hours from a shelter program, who will focus on that required content area.
There are a number of good reasons for you to use a local shelter for that aspect of your core training. First, it will be important in your work to be familiar with the local services for victims and children. Second, they will discuss other community resources that assist victims and child witnesses to violence (such as victim/witness programs, how to obtain restraining orders, legal assistance, financial assistance, etc.). Third, it will allow them to become familiar with your services. That is what a “community-coordinated response” is all about – people working together toward a common goal – ending family violence.
Take a long or as short as you like to complete the program. When you are finished reading all the material and answering all the questions, you complete a program evaluation. Once I receive that, I will email you a link for your certificate of completion.
