TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Examining the long-term effects of a domestic violence training for educators JO - Journal of aggression, maltreatment and trauma A1 - Young, Hannah L.

SP - 671 EP - 685 VL - 25 IS - 7 N2 - Domestic violence affects not only the victims and perpetrators, but also children living in these households. This study examined the long-term effects of a training presented to all employees working in 22 different rural school districts (N = 556). Quantitative and qualitative data were collected to determine the long-term impact of the training. After approximately 4 years, the staff who had received the training reported that they had significantly more confidence in handling families dealing with domestic violence; however, both groups reported similar levels of general knowledge of the topic. Recommendations for training school personnel are provided along with key elements for replicating the training.
