Tools
- Abusive Partner Intervention and Engagement Self-Assessment: Revisiting Goals, Challenges, and Progress in Community Responses For communities that have an abusive partner intervention program, a self-assessment is an opportunity to revisit the values, goals, and objectives your community has in place for abusive partner accountability, engagement, and programming; the overall progress towards those goals; and the role of the community in supporting programs. This self-assessment, rooted in the Abusive Partner Accountability and Engagement Training and Technical Assistance project's set of guiding principles, is meant to act as a guide and a living document from which system and community-based enhanced responses to accountability and engagement can emerge.
- Abusive Partner Intervention and Engagement Self-Assessment: Facilitation in Abusive Partner Intervention Programs A companion document to the community self-assessment, this document allows facilitators of abusive partner intervention programs to assess their skills and training needs.
Once you fill out the form, our team will contact you to access the assessment.
