When courts see perpetrator patterns and their impact on children, decisions get safer. Safe & Together unites child welfare, DV, and family law in that shift.

Diverse experiences strengthen domestic abuse–informed work—but only with a shared framework that centers perpetrator patterns and survivor strengths.

How does your team align different perspectives while staying focused on the source of harm?

Build teams that thrive with domestic abuse–informed practices: normalize consultation on perpetrator patterns, foster peer mentorship, debrief complex cases, and share knowledge widely. Supportive teams need intentional, evidence-based approaches—not just good intentions.

When children speak up about violence, they’re too often met with disbelief or punishment—especially when challenging adult authority. Systems must be safe places for children to name harm without fear or shame.

Centering children’s voices, rather than simply including them, is crucial.
Ask open questions, reflect without judgment, and let them define what safety means.

Listening is a skill. Are we truly hearing them?

What looks like resistance is often a survivor’s way of staying safe. In domestic abuse work, recognizing protective wisdom is essential. Are we truly honoring the strategies families use to protect themselves?
