Level 2: Domestic abuse understanding
We’re passionate about helping churches feel confident that they know what to do when domestic abuse is disclosed.
Our Level 2 course will build on the basic knowledge on the subject of domestic abuse and provide insights into the links between faith and domestic abuse, coercion and control and trauma-informed responses.
Level 2 course content
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the root causes of domestic abuse and its impact on victims and survivors. It will enable you to more effectively respond to a disclosure of abuse, covering:
- How the Bible informs our understanding of domestic abuse and how to respond
- Using the Duluth Model to gain further understanding of the way abuse is perpetrated and its complexities

The Level 2 training runs online over three evenings or a full day. All sessions happen via Zoom, but we build in plenty of time for screen breaks.

Training FAQs
One of the best parts of all our training courses is getting to discuss the course material with other attendees in breakout groups, and ask questions as you go. For that reason, we don’t record the sessions and recommend that you try to join each one live.
Our Level 1 training course includes video content that will be sent to you after each session, along with the slides. Levels 2 and 3 don’t have any recorded content, but you’ll receive a copy of the slides to look back on.
Our three levels of training are designed to be completed in sequence, so if possible we recommend that you complete them in order. Depending on your level of experience, you could choose to join at Level 2, but we’d suggest not missing this level as it includes specific content about domestic abuse and faith that isn’t often covered in other domestic abuse training.
