Certificates in Domestic Violence and Evidence-Based Practice
The Domestic Violence Certificate programs provide both in-person and online ASU students with the experience and knowledge needed to intervene safely and effectively on behalf of survivors of gender-based violence, a vulnerable group likely to be encountered by helping professionals across many areas of practice. In addition to learning about domestic violence intervention, the certificates emphasize prevention through building healthy relationships across the lifespan.
