Dr. Covington’s innovative programs Beyond Violence (for criminal justice settings) and Beyond Anger and Violence (for community settings) are evidence-based interventions for women that focus on anger utilizing a multi-level approach and a variety of therapeutic strategies. This virtual training is open to the general public. Space will be limited for this interactive virtual training.
We live in a world where anger and violence are all around us. These are in the news, in our television shows and motion pictures, and often in our families and relationships. Anger often is connected to violence and, in some cases, leads to violence. Even though anger is the most common emotion, many people find it difficult to understand and regulate their anger. Beyond Violence (BV) and Beyond Anger and Violence (BAV) are programs for women who struggle with issues related to anger and/or violence. Beyond Violence (BV) focuses on women who are involved in the criminal justice system and Beyond Anger and Violence (BAV) focuses on women in community programs. There are many overlaps in each approach, this combined training will differentiate between the two.
Anger itself is not a problem; how it is manifested or expressed often creates a problem. A core piece of the work in Beyond Violence and Beyond Anger and Violence is to help a woman identify her anger, how she deals with it, and its effects in her life. The participants learn to develop ways of managing their anger in ways that do not cause them problems. The program is structured to work on two levels: one is the anger that the women experience in whatever forms; the other is the anger and violence they have experienced from others.
This 4 day (4.5 hours per day) virtual training is designed to explain and explore the topics of anger on multiple levels: the personal level (the anger women feel); the relationship level, including anger directed toward them; and the effects of anger and violence in our communities and society at large. This is an interactive training that integrates the evidence-based practices of cognitive-behavioral, relational, mindful, and expressive-arts therapeutic techniques into a holistic approach to anger and violence.
This training is conducted by our Certified Trainer Gina Fedock, PhD, LMSW, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration and Co-Trainer Patricia Esparza, PhD, the Managing Director of Compliance for a statewide health care organization. Throughout this interactive training, your trainers also discuss how the treatment program materials can be used with women in the criminal justice system.
