A leading UK charity committed to ending gender based violence and abuse.

This course looks at basic domestic violence theory and specifically how children under ten years old are affected by domestic violence. It focuses on the behavioural, emotional and cognitive effects on children under ten years old, as well as the links between domestic violence and child abuse and the impact on parenting for both the abusive and the non-abusive parent.

Post domestic abuse parents often find themselves struggling with not only the trauma of having lived with the abuse but their children’s complex behaviours and needs. This course will explore the impacts of abuse on parenting, children and the parent-child relationship. Using the latest neuroscience research as well as relevant counselling, parenting and trauma informed research, delegates will explore ways of working with families post abuse.

AVA is holding a seminar on international women day, 8th March at 1-5pm: Technology and Violence Against Women – Helping or Harming?

Technology in the modern world is unavoidable and constantly changing. Women’s interaction with it is a complicated area that intersects with various forms of multiple-disadvantage and VAWG issues.  This can both be positive and negative.
