The Introductory workshop is for GPs and primary care providers only and aims to enhance your confidence to safely engage with people who use violence.
Experts will discuss how to identify when violence is occurring and how to sensitively ask and respond to disclosures and encourage your patients to seek help appropriately.
Learning outcomes:
Identify patient presentations, narratives and behaviours that may be indicative of use of domestic violence.
Analyse evidence-based risk factors in relation to perpetrator behaviour.
Show how to safely and sensitively ask patients about use of domestic violence and assess their level of risk.
Implement responding to the stages of help-seeking for people who use domestic violence, for example, pre-contemplation to contemplation.
