Court professionals are the heart and soul of lasting systemic change for survivors and children. Survivor Resource Group strives to implement a training model that diverges from traditional “sit and get” learning where every participant receives a completion certificate for showing up.
We believe in a higher level of accountability and expertise for ourselves and for the population we serve. Therefore, our approach is different. We employ a competency-based learning model that requires professionals to not only “learn the material” but demonstrate their understanding of conceptual frameworks in real world scenarios. A parallel to our model that one might draw is the training Emergency Room physicians or paramedics receive: They learn by demonstrating their competency through training, clinical rotations, medical simulations, and board exams. In similar fashion, Survivor Resource Group employs a hands-on, real-world scenario approach where participants learn core frameworks for understanding domestic violence, coercive control, and child abuse but must also apply knowledge in authentic, real-world written and oral assessments.
At the conclusion of our trainings, we ask all professionals to attest to their learning and sign an affidavit of written competency. This ensures that participants aren’t just in it for the certificate but that they truly “walk the walk” of accountability. Where other programs “check the box” and hand out certificates, Survivor Resource Group ensures that family court professionals are truly demonstrating and committed to the accountability that is needed within the system to act competently and in good faith.
Our model requires participants to:
Listen + Learn (The foundation of all learning)
Demonstration of competency
Written affirmation and attestation of statements of concepts learned
Our learning opportunities are:
Timely
Relevant
Research-based
Accountable
Virtual, Hybrid, and In-person
