Join David Mandel, Executive Director and Founder of the Safe and Together Institute as he presents the ‘Choose to Change: Your Behavior, Your Choice’ Campaign Materials. During a time when communities are exploring how to offer more community-based resources to prevent domestic violence, these free resources are aimed at men who choose violence, professionals who work with them and their family and friends. This is a recorded webinar.

This Supervisor Training is designed to build upon prior training on Safe & Together™ Model CORE concepts and to provide a skills-oriented foundation to domestic violence-informed supervisory practice. While the training is designed to increase knowledge, the goal is to change professional behavior. This training is the e-course equivalent to the 2-day version of our Safe & Together™ Model: For Supervisors and Managers in-person training.

During times of stress on child welfare systems, intake, screening and assessment plays an even more critical role. Join David Mandel Executive Director and Founder of the Safe and Together Institute as he explores how to use the Safe & Together Model to identify risk in domestic violence cases.

Many families impacted by domestic violence perpetrators’ behaviors have multiple, complex, intersecting issues. In the past, we might have referred to these as co-occurring issues. But the language of co-occurrence often doesn’t provide us with a sense of how these issues interact. For example, listing the family’s issues is not as powerful as explaining how the domestic violence perpetrator interfered with his partner’s recovery. Listing that the family has experienced both domestic violence and child behavioral health issues is not as useful as describing how the perpetrator’s violence has produced anxiety and aggression in the children. Using an intersections framework, versus a co-occurrence framework, we increase perpetrator accountability, improve our ability to diagnosis and treat each member of the family, and improve our ability to help the adult and children survivors. This course will provide guidance on how to understand the connections, or intersections, and make them work for us in our practice.

Explore how to manage domestic violence-related safety and risk using the shared lens of Safe & Together and the National Council on Crime and Delinquency’s Structured Decision Making Tools (SDM). This is a recorded webinar.

David Mandel and Ruth Stearns Mandel of the Safe and Together Institute speak on how faith leaders can best be allies to those living with domestic violence, coercive control, and child abuse. This is done by partnering with victims and survivors and holding those who choose to abuse accountable for their behaviors and how those behaviors harm their families. This is a recorded webinar.

The Safe and Together™ Model is an internationally recognized suite of tools and interventions designed to help child welfare and their partners become domestic violence-informed. Continuously refined based on years of experiencing implementing the Model across the United States and other countries, the Model helps improve competencies and cross system collaboration related to the intersection of domestic violence and child maltreatment.

At the Safe & Together Institute we want to support you to apply domestic abuse informed practice in whatever role, organisation or system you are in. This webinar series will explore how to apply Safe & Together across systems, agencies & sectors. Whether you have undertaken training in the Model or are new to it, these webinars are opportunities to learn, ask questions and receive concrete feedback. All four sessions will be led by David Mandel, founder of the Safe & Together Institute, who has over 30 years experience in the fields of domestic violence and child welfare. Registering gives you access to all four webinars. 2 of the webinars are conveniently timed for the Asia Pacific time zone. 2 are timed for Europe and North America. All of the sessions will be recorded and available approximately 48 hours after the live session for two weeks. This way, registrants can access all the content.
