Mediation and Domestic Violence 1: December 6, 2007 Mediation and Domestic Violence 3 using NEW training DVD: December 7, 2007 Domestic violence is common: At least one in four women has experienced domestic violence. That’s 25% of the women or couples in your practice. Risk of violence is highest when parties are separating. Batterers are more likely to stalk, harass, batter, injure or kill their intimate partners when the victim takes steps to end the relationship. The rate of intimate partner victimization (per 1000 persons) is 31.9% for divorced and separated women and 6.2% for divorced and separated men. Do you know enough about detecting domestic violence to be responsible in your role? Their safety and yours is at stake. These sessions provide a forum for mediators, attorneys, therapists, victim advocates, and other professionals who work with individuals or couples to examine the issues involved in cases where one of the parties is a batterer.
