Domestic Violence and Homelessness; Implementing a Strengths-based, Trauma informed, Person Centred response to promote personal recovery within a socially based intervention.

This training develops a strengths based, trauma informed, person-centred response to survivors of domestic violence who experience homelessness for direct practitioners. Experiences of domestic violence with homelessness are socially mediated and accordingly require a social response to their amelioration during direct practice welfare interventions. This training develops a socially informed mental health response at the direct practice level to help those with experiences of domestic violence with homelessness. In experiences of domestic violence with homelessness service users need to deal with problems of rebuilding their life in the context of violence and a dysfunctional housing market.
