clinical nursing skills, domestic violence training, professional training and development

Need tools and resources for assessing domestic violence in healthcare settings? Seasoned psychologist and domestic abuse speaker for your continuing nursing and medical education needs.

How equipped is your staff to manage patients who are victims of violence?

One out of every three women treated by your staff is a potential victim of domestic abuse, and your nurses and physicians are expected to determine which of their patients are indeed victims of violence.

Many nurses and physicians ask:

How do I recognize domestic violence before it spirals out of control?

What are the subtle signs of intimate partner violence?

How do I get around the awkwardness of broaching the subject and interfacing with patients who may be victims of domestic abuse?

Why does pregnancy exacerbate intimate partner violence?

What is the difference between violence associated with substance abuse and violence that is a direct by product on domestic abuse?

Why doesn't she just leave?

How do I go beyond my own personal biases and judgments that interfere with my seeing her and her situation clearly?

How do I empower her to acknowledge and deal with her threatening circumstances, rather than toss the referral number I have given her?

The Shining the Light Seminar was developed to answer these questions, plus address safety and professional practice issues, and equip nursing and medical staff with clinical skills to most effectively interface with victims of domestic violence.

This is not one of your run-of-the-mill domestic violence programs given by your local domestic violence agency. This highly polished presentation is both informative and inspiring, and provides the clinical element most often missing in domestic abuse awareness programs.

Dr. King brings a quarter of a century of clinical experience as a psychologist and the ability to interpret the experience of domestic abuse victimization from the inside out because she lived it. And she knows the healthcare provider’s needs with respect to this patient population.

Your staff will connect with her as a professional peer and resonate with the material of this program in a way that engages lasting learning. They will learn skills that equip them to carry out their professional responsibility as gatekeepers for domestic violence in your community.

We urge you to bring the Shining the Light on Domestic Abuse Program for healthcare providers into your hospital. Together, we can help your staff better protect those in danger, while carrying out their professional responsibilities and upholding your hospital’s standards.

“Her three keys to shining the light on domestic violence really give the helper a concise way to understand important clinical concepts.” Sheryl Tyson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of Washington, Psychosocial and Community Health, WA

“The program helped me see how my judgments get in the way of the patient finding their own answers.” RN, Maternal Child Health, Douglas WY
