Perpetrator Pattern Mapping Tool: A Practitioner’s Tool for Improving Assessment, Intervention & Outcomes
Write your awesome label here.
The web-based Perpetrator Pattern Mapping Tool (PPMT) is a virtual practice tool for improving assessment, intervention, and outcomes through a perpetrator pattern–based approach. The tool allows practitioners to apply the Safe & Together Model’s critical concepts and principles to their current caseload in real time.
The PPMT helps to identify the primary perpetrator and their pattern of coercive control, assess the harm to children, and document protective parenting efforts. Our behavioral- and fact-based tool helps to avoid gender bias and supports impartiality. It specifically addresses key issues like intersections, intersectionalities, lateral violence, and patterns beyond the family itself—including the perpetrator’s manipulation of systems—and can help contextualize and evaluate concerns about contact resistance and refusal. The tool also includes a place for workers to consider the implications for their practice and next steps.
