HEAL Curriculum
Using Conceptual Clarity to Integrate Components From Multiple Programs to Create Trauma-Informed Accountable Intervention
The New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence is bringing back our expert trainer Jeffrie Cape to train Batterer Intervention Program (BIP) Facilitators in New Mexico in the HEAL curriculum. This training consists of two days 6 hours each of training for new BIP/DVOTI facilitators.
Description
This 2 part training will explore how the principle of conceptual clarity was instrumental in the development of the HEAL model of intervening with men who have been abusive and harmful. Further, it will provide guidance for how the concept can be applied in any intervention program. During the 2 partial days different portions of the HEAL curriculum will be specifically highlighted and explored in depth regarding implementation within the curriculum itself while providing guidance for incorporation into other program models and curricula. Strategic skill building for addressing trauma in intervention programming will be interwoven throughout the training. Additionally, analogies, stories and facilitation skills will be shared. This interactive training will include breakouts, facilitated discussion, exercise role play and other media to enhance an understanding of the material.

Online Pre-Course Work - 7 Hours
Registrants for the Fundamentals training will receive instructions to register for "An Introduction to HEAL", which is a 7-hour online training that you must complete prior to the 2 day training.

Curriculum
This training is based upon the H.E.A.L. curriculum, which is being used by many programs across the state. If you use a different curriculum this training is still valuable for the theory, conceptual clarity, group facilitation skills, and coaching you will receive. Each participant will receive a copy of the curriculum at the training. (A use agreement for your program must be negotiated with Jeffrie Cape prior to copying for your BIP group participants. Information will be available at the training.)
