The VIGOR: The Victim Inventory of Goals, Options, & Risks
Introductory Webinar with Sherry Hamby
Safety planning for domestic violence has changed little in decades and still relies heavily on one-size-fits-all checklists. This webinar will introduce the VIGOR, a holistic, family-centered approach to safety planning with victims of domestic violence. The VIGOR is designed to be flexible and to focus on women's priorities. It encourage victims and advocates to think about other issues aside from violence, including concerns about children, financial issues, community issues, and other factors. Data from two studies using the VIGOR, both including a high percentage of Latina participants, will be presented and copies of the tool will be provided to all participants. The VIGOR has recently been translated into Spanish and can be downloaded for free at http://thevigor.org.
