Identifying Risk to Children in Domestic Violence Cases

Identifying risk to children in domestic violence cases is a growing area of concern for jurisdictions and many sites have expressed a need for more information in this area. In this webinar, Darren Mitchell, DV RISC consultant and National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ)  fellow, presents on identifying risk to children in domestic violence cases. Darren also discusses using the SAFeR approach, a tool for identifying, assessing, and responding to domestic violence in child custody cases.  SAFeR stands for: Screening for violence, Assessing the full nature and context, Focusing on the effects of gender-based violence, and Responding to the lived experience of the violence.
