While providing a continuum of care to families, people helpers may encounter couples who are so conflictual with each other that it hinders their families from receiving the help they need. The escalation of marital conflicts may result in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and cause collateral harm to children in the families.
This course aims to help participants differentiate couples who require mediation or counselling to reduce their conflicts. For couple mediation, participants will be introduced to the goal, structure and process of the mediation framework. For couple counselling, the course imparts to participants the Individually & Interactionally Oriented Interventions of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) that they can use to encourage positive behavioural change in conflictual couples.
Finally, participants will also learn to recognise signs of attachment injuries to prevent escalation of couple conflicts to IPV and other harmful behaviours.
