Safe and Together™ Critical Components Perpetrator’s pattern of coercive control Role of substance abuse, mental health, culture and other socioeconomic factors Adverse impact of the perpetrator’s behavior on the child Actions taken by the perpetrator to harm the child Full spectrum of the non-offending parent’s efforts to promote the safety and well being of the child
CCs 1 & 2 - Coercive Control & Actions taken to harm children • Perpetrator’s behavior - not the relationship • Perpetrator’s choice to be violent, abusive and controlling • Beyond current relationship o Ending the relationship does not equal safety o Risk assessments need to consider previous relationships • More than adult on adult behavior o Direct and indirect involvement of children in the pattern of behavior o Requires conscious look at gender based expectations about parenting (c) 2013 David Mandel Associates LLC Do not reproduce or distribute without permission

Exercise: Protective Efforts – Case Study • Read and discuss the case study. Underline strengths and protective factors. • What has the survivor done to promote the safety of the children, the wellbeing of the children, stability for the children and to nurture the children.
Partnering with Survivors Focus on Strengths Planning Based on Survivors’ Experiences and Strengths Shared Goal of Keeping Children Safe Identify Protective Efforts Focus on Perpetrators’ Choices as Source of Harm
Language Choices • • • Blaming Language Why haven’t you left? How did you trigger him (or what were you doing before he got violent? ) Didn’t you know he was going to be violent? It’s your job to protect the children. You’re choosing him over the children. Non-Blaming Language • Has (your partner) ever interfered with you trying to leave? • What was he like before he was violent? • I’m concerned that his behavior is harming the children. • It’s clear you’ve tried to protect the children but that he’s chosen to hurt them.
