Description
This introductory workshop presents cutting-edge research on the relationship between exposure to domestic violence, child abuse and other traumas and children’s psychological health. Recent research demands modifications to previously standard approaches to child custody assessments that have proven harmful to children. Implications for psychological practice in custody cases, including the risks of inadequate training in domestic violence screening and risk assessment will be addressed. Participants will learn strategies for conducting comprehensive screenings and utilizing empirically informed models of custody recommendations that favor a multidisciplinary approach.
