Supporting practitioners to do domestic family and sexual violence work

On-demand recorded 18 Jun 2024

Violence and abuse is very common and survivors present frequently to GPs with health conditions that result from their trauma. GPs need to be equipped to respond to survivors in their clinics. GPs who work with survivors may be at increased risk of burnout and vicarious trauma.

This webinar will discuss how to appropriately respond to survivors in primary care and how to avoid burnout and vicarious trauma when working with survivors.

Presented in partnership with the Safer Families Centre.

Learning outcomes

  1. To appropriately respond to survivors of domestic, family and sexual violence in primary care.
  2. To apply trauma and violence informed care practices when caring for survivors.
  3. To describe role of referral pathways in supporting both survivors and clinicians.
  4. To explain the pathways of support to avoid burnout and vicarious trauma when working with survivors.
