Target Audience: Domestic violence, healthcare
providers, social service advocates and other service providers who work closely with survivors.
Course Description: The Illinois Domestic Violence Act
provides the strongest confidentiality protection for domestic violence victims in the country. The Act imposes requirements
and responsibilities for domestic violence programs and counselor/advocates as well as imposing consequences for workers who
fail to comply. This training will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the confidentiality provision
of the Act, how it affects clients, programs and service providers. In addition the training will offer valuable information
of other confidentiality statutes that apply when domestic violence victims receive services from outside of a domestic violence
program.
