Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence: How DV Perpetrators Manipulate Systems (Part 2)
Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence – KCADV has partnered with Safe and Together Institute to offer training for Batterer Intervention Program providers; we also invite you, SRAs, and other partners who feel this training would benefit them and their work. As we are all here for one common goal, to build safer communities, this training opportunity might be helpful to you. We invite you to both sessions to better understand BIP providers’ work, the possibilities for change, and the risks of not fully understanding how people using violence may manipulate providers even as they seek services.
Description: Domestic violence perpetrator manipulation of systems is a critical problem that undermines responses to family violence and profoundly impacts adult and child survivors in many ways. Perpetrators manipulate systems to bolster their power and abuse and to control adult and child survivors further. For example, they use false allegations of criminal behavior, parental alienation, and “failure to protect” to target survivors, their children, and the professionals involved with the family. Perpetrators’ successful manipulation of systems compounds, reinforces, and legitimizes their power, increasing both the survivors’ sense of their powerlessness and the perpetrator’s seeming omnipotence. Sadly, the children and their physical and mental health care. Harassment via repeated reporting and litigation can also deplete survivors’ finances and waste public resources. As a result, adult and child survivors often lose trust in the systems that protect them. Perpetrators can be prevented in their manipulations when systems, and the professionals within them, are domestic violence informed. In this session, you will learn about five steps and systems professionals can use to protect themselves against these behaviors.
