Tools
- Abusive Partner Intervention and Engagement Self-Assessment: Revisiting Goals, Challenges, and Progress in Community Responses For communities that have an abusive partner intervention program, a self-assessment is an opportunity to revisit the values, goals, and objectives your community has in place for abusive partner accountability, engagement, and programming; the overall progress towards those goals; and the role of the community in supporting programs. This self-assessment, rooted in the Abusive Partner Accountability and Engagement Training and Technical Assistance project's set of guiding principles, is meant to act as a guide and a living document from which system and community-based enhanced responses to accountability and engagement can emerge.
- Abusive Partner Intervention and Engagement Self-Assessment: Facilitation in Abusive Partner Intervention Programs A companion document to the community self-assessment, this document allows facilitators of abusive partner intervention programs to assess their skills and training needs.
