Collaboration in Family Violence Response

ECLIPSE's Collaboration in Family Violence Response workshop is for collectives that work in a multi-disciplinary family violence space that are trying to establish, and/or maintain strong practice foundations. To support practice response, we will explore the realities of the experiences of whānau experiencing family violence, their resistance strategies and why they respond to practitioners, responders and support organisations in the manner they do.

Course Length: 5 hours

About the Course

ECLIPSE recognises that all collectives have different operational priorities and processes, this workshop will be personalised to ensure this is captured.

Together we will explore the purpose of your collective – this could include Integrated Safety Response (ISR) or Whāngaia Ngā Pā Harakeke or Family Violence Inter Agency Response System (FVIARS) that have a focus on the SAM table.  We will gain understanding of your current collaboration, vision, mission, and objectives as well as how you as a collective group adhere to this, while upholding your service position to whānau.

We will explore SAM table practice, use of FSS as an information collation space to support family safety.  Task and plan development, accountability processes to both whānau and across professional collective relationships.  What is a good outcome, and how is it achieved?

Through completing this workshop, your family violence collective will:

  • Identify and further explore the successes and challenges of your multi-disciplinary response while upholding the dignity and mana of whānau.

  • Explore your local collective SAM table practice, processes and accountability structures.

  • Obtain a deeper understanding of ECLIPSE’s Multifaceted Entrapment model - Relational Entrapment, Systemic Entrapment and Structural Entrapment.

  • Obtain a deeper understanding of ECLIPSE’s Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept (PVIC) to highlight:

    • Barriers to connection and engagement for whānau experiencing family violence.

    • Resistance strategies and how victims resist coercive control and family violence every day.

  • Understand the importance of self-determination strategies, dignity-enhancing practice, and empathetic connection as steps to a healing pathway.
