Customized training on intimate partner violence and family law for service providers
Organizations supporting women through the family law system need current, practical knowledge to respond effectively. Additional training can help staff address parenting arrangements, financial support, safety during separation and the family court process with greater confidence.
Whether your organization has recently welcomed new staff, wants to refresh your team’s knowledge or needs to explore a specific family law issue in greater depth, Luke’s Place can customize training to match your learning goals and strengthen your team’s ability to support women.
Training Topics
Luke’s Place provides customized training on intimate partner violence and family law for organizations and professionals who support women subjected to IPV, including violence against women organizations, women’s shelters, community service agencies, and legal professionals.
We work with organizations to identify the topics most relevant to their staff and develop training that reflects their needs.
Customized training can cover topics such as:
- Intimate partner violence and the dynamics of abuse
- Intersections between family law and criminal law or immigration law
- Separation violence and family court
- Supporting women who do not have a lawyer
- Working effectively with lawyers and court officials
- Marriage, divorce and common-law relationships
- Court-related safety planning
- The family court process, step by step
- Parenting arrangements
- Child and spousal support
- Division of property
- Domestic contracts
- Child protection
- Emergency motions
- Managing the work
- And more!
Training can focus on one of these areas or combine several topics to reflect the work your team does and the questions they encounter when supporting women.
Training Formats
Training can be delivered virtually or in person as a short topic-specific session, a half-day or full-day program, or a multi-day course. Luke’s Place staff can also present at conferences, staff meetings, and community events.
To support continued learning, participants can also access Luke’s Place online courses and practical resources, providing information and tools they can refer to after the training has ended.
We work with you to find a training format that fits your organization’s schedule and learning goals.
