*** Virtual Training – Zoom will open at 8:15am for announcements. Training begins promptly at 8:30am ***

4 Psychology CEs and 4 SW CEUs Available

This training provides an applied overview of domestic violence within court, probation, and criminal justice settings in New Jersey. The training focuses on identifying patterns of coercive control, assessing risk and lethality indicators, and understanding how domestic violence presents in supervised populations. Participants will review New Jersey domestic violence law, including Temporary and Final Restraining Orders (TRO/FRO), and gain practical guidance on documentation, safety considerations, and collaboration with victim service systems. The training emphasizes real-world decision-making and risk management for professionals working with individuals who have used or experienced violence.

This training qualifies as clinical in nature as it focuses on the assessment, identification, and response to domestic violence within practice settings. Content emphasizes clinical judgment, risk assessment, behavioral analysis, and trauma-informed approaches to working with both survivors and individuals who use violence. Participants will develop applied skills in identifying coercive control, assessing lethality risk, interpreting behavioral patterns such as minimization and escalation, and making informed decisions that impact safety and intervention. The material directly supports clinical competencies in assessment, intervention, and case conceptualization within complex interpersonal violence dynamics.

Participants will be able to:

1. Identify key indicators of domestic violence, including patterns of coercive control and risk factors for lethality
2. Differentiate between situational conflict and ongoing patterns of abuse
3. Describe the New Jersey domestic violence legal framework, including TRO and FRO processes
4. Recognize behavioral patterns of individuals who use violence, including minimization and escalation
5. Apply risk assessment concepts to improve decision-making in supervision and court-involved cases
6. Identify appropriate responses and referral pathways to enhance safety and accountability

This presentation explores the integration of Latino cultural perspectives into evidence-based treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model. Participants will examine the impact of cultural values such as familismo, respeto, and personalismo, as well as the influence of migration and acculturation experiences on identity, family dynamics, treatment engagement, and adaptation to intervention. Additional topics include stigma, shame, language considerations, and barriers to accessing and participating in treatment. Through clinical examples and practical strategies, attendees will learn how to incorporate cultural responsiveness while maintaining treatment integrity, victim safety, and offender accountability. This presentation is intended for clinicians, treatment providers, and criminal justice professionals working with Latino individuals in sex offender specific treatment settings.
