The purpose of this course is to assist you in learning the skills necessary to support victims of domestic violence. You do not need a college or university degree to offer support. This course is designed for those who are interested in pursuing a career in case aide work, social support work, and community outreach work. It is also here to assist those who are suffering from domestic violence now, and will aide victims in the areas they choose to pursue to end the violence. This is a self-pacedcourse: instructor assistance when needed, and positive feedback on assignments, tests, and quizzes. The importance of posting information in the forum will also be required: this information is the "sharing of learning" which will aid others in areas they may not have gained knowledge in. I know there are many people who feel that they are totally alone: who may think that no one knows what they are going through, and feel that they have no one to turn to or to talk to about their situation. Some of these people are living in domestic abusive relationships. Some feel they cannot get out, and some may feel that they have to stay. I am here to tell you that you are not alone: there are many others who have been in violent relationships, and many who have moved on to live a happy,violence free productive life! This course is for those who wish to learn about THE CYCLE OF ABUSE: WHY WE CHOOSE TO STAY IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS, PARTNER ABUSE-MAN OR WOMAN, SAME SEX PARTNERS, EMERGENCY OPTIONS, COMPENSATION, POLICING, THE LAW, IMPACTS OF ABUSE, IMPACTS ON THE CHILDREN,and PLANNING YOUR ESCAPE.copyright 2003.

Course Requirements
Domestic Violence A Safety Plan is designed for people from all walks of life. Having a college diploma, a high school diploma, or no diploma at all, will not enhance your capabililites to understand this course. I have decided to take all that I have learned in the areas of domestic violence and make it easy for all to understand and learn from. People who choose to take this course are choosing to take it for a specific reason. It could be to help someone they know, they could be a victim themself, or they could use this information to help others. So with this in mind, I respect those who wish to learn and respect the fact that all can benefit from this course without feeling that they need a college or university degree to understand the wording.
This course requires no purchase of books, materials, movies, software, or video tapes. Everything is here on-line to assist you with your learning. So feel free to be confident in your committment to achieve this new goal that you have set out to do. I will be with you every step of the way.
Best of luck!
