OPEP DV Training programme for Health Professionals on Domestic Violence

The training program for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals who come across patients who may be victims of violence. Health care professionals who work with their patients one-on-one, regularly, and have good rapport with them, such as physiotherapists, are well suited for noticing signs of domestic violence in their patients.

The curriculum consists of pedagogical material based in part on the findings of the Report, especially on real life cases, to enable learners to connect to the topics effectively. The training program equips the target groups with skills to identify possible cases of abuse and provide appropriate and safe support to victims thus increasing the efficiency of physiotherapy and patient adherence.

The training programme is available in English and Estonian. Greek, Spanish, Turkish, and Russian versions are coming soon.
