These 12 courses explore the complex and multifaceted nature of abuse and violence and their impact on individuals, families, and communities. Designed for social workers, the courses address a range of topics including domestic and intimate partner violence, child and elder abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, neglect, and trauma-related responses. Learners will examine common warning signs, risk factors, and behavioral patterns associated with abuse, as well as the broader social, cultural, and systemic factors that influence both victimization and recovery.
Through evidence-based content and practical applications, these courses equip social workers with essential knowledge and skills for ethical and effective practice. Emphasis is placed on assessment, intervention strategies, safety planning, mandated reporting, professional boundaries, and culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Collectively, these courses support social workers in strengthening their ability to protect vulnerable populations, advocate for clients, and apply best practices across clinical, community, and organizational settings—while fulfilling continuing education requirements.
