Breaking the Silence in Social Work Education: Domestic Violence Modules for Foundation Courses

Working from the belief that domestic violence issues must be addressed in all areas of social work practice, the editors have put together a collection of 36 peer-reviewed modules for use in courses across the social work curriculum. Each of the module authors provides a description of the module, learning objectives, instructional methods and assignments, and the amount of time needed to implement the module in class. Breaking the Silence also features an online component (www.cswe.org/domesticviolence), with additional resources to use in class, including PowerPoint presentations, handouts, and exercises. You will need the username and password in the front of your hard copy of the book to access these materials.
