Women who use violence - Evaluation of +SHIFT (2020)
The Positive Support and Healing creates Innovative Forward Thinking (+SHIFT) Program is a 16-session group work and case support program, which takes a therapeutic, gender-responsive, trauma-informed approach. Positive Shift addresses intersectional
identities and promotes healing, while facilitating participants’ engagement with viable alternatives to force in their intimate relationships. The safety of women is also a key focus, as the majority of participants have experienced violence or abuse in
current or past adult relationships, or in their childhood.
