This course is designed for men and women who are concerned about domestic violence and men who batter. Participants will be taught intervention strategies, philosophies and approaches consistent with the “Duluth Model” that meet the Intimate Partner Abuse Education Program Certification requirements of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and meet all Department of Public Health 1995 revised standards and requirements for group facilitator training. Past participants have included probation officers, protective service workers, police officers, nurses, social workers, corrections staff, mental health and substance abuse counselors. Although not everyone who participates in this training will go on to work with abusive men, this training, along with six group observations, is a pre-requisite to work in a certified program.
