DV Learning — Online course to build families that are safe havens
An open online training course with 6 lessons on domestic violence and comprehensive support for survivors, for professionals and the general public
Translated from Thai · reviewed by the CF team
Society’s shared responsibility
“An online training course to build families that are safe havens” is an open platform providing knowledge about domestic violence and survivor-centred approaches to supporting survivors. It is based on the belief that domestic violence is a shared responsibility of society, not a matter confined to any one family.
Free to learn, no registration required
The course is designed as 6 consecutive lessons, covering understanding domestic violence situations, principles of case management, basic approaches to working with survivors, case management and multidisciplinary collaboration, legal and justice processes, and self-care for practitioners. It also includes gamified quizzes and an e-certificate.

How can we
help you?
Choose the question that fits your role. Answers are summarised from our own records of the work, and you can talk to the CF team from any card.
What change does this work create, and how do we know it is effective?
The course is free to take. A total of 596 people have enrolled, and 93 have completed it and received a certificate. We have no records of its effects on preventing or addressing violence after the course.
The course aims to help professionals and the general public understand domestic violence and comprehensive approaches to supporting people affected by it. It is free to take and requires no registration. This Project The figures used to track the course are the number of learners and the number who complete it and receive a certificate. This Project
- A total of 596 people have enrolled: 206 from the public sector, 36 from the private sector, 114 from civil society, and 240 whose sector was not specified. This Project
- 93 learners have completed the course and received a certificate. This Project
These figures show the course’s reach and completion, but we have no records of how learners have applied their knowledge or what changes this has brought about for people affected by violence or in situations involving violence. We also have no information on what has been learned from things that did not work. Therefore, learner numbers alone cannot be used to conclude that the course has helped prevent or address violence.
How was this work carried out, and what lessons can be applied going forward?
We created an open online course with 6 free lessons covering case management and support for survivors. We do not yet have records of lessons learned from implementation or what did not work.
We designed an open online course centred on supporting survivors, and view domestic violence as a shared social responsibility. This Project The course has 6 sequential lessons, is free to take without registration, and learners can save their progress and return to continue. This Project
The lessons begin with understanding domestic violence and the principles of case management, followed by initial approaches to working with survivors, case management and multidisciplinary collaboration, legal processes, and practitioners’ self-care. This Project Each lesson ends with a game-based quiz, and learners who score at least 80% receive an e-Certificate. This Project
An approach that can be applied elsewhere, based on the course details, is to organise content in sequence, from understanding the issue to working with survivors and supporting practitioners. However, we do not yet have records of lessons learned from using the course or what did not work.
What kinds of areas is this approach suitable for, and what is needed to get started in our area?
The course is online and free for staff and the general public, with no registration required. We have no record of the conditions or resources needed to start using it locally.
Our course is an open online training programme for staff and the general public. Its content aims to build understanding of domestic violence and approaches to supporting victims that put them at the centre. This Project Since the course is open, free, and requires no registration, it has been designed to be accessible to learners without requiring them to register in advance. This Project
The course has 6 lessons, covering topics from understanding the situation and case management principles to working with victims, multidisciplinary collaboration, legal processes, and practitioners’ self-care. This Project Learners can save their progress and return to continue, complete an end-of-lesson test, and receive an e-Certificate if they score at least 80%. This Project
However, we have no record of the types of local contexts for which the course is particularly suitable, or what personnel, resources, or preparation are needed to start using it locally. We therefore cannot yet summarise the conditions for implementation in a local area.
What methods or tools can be put to use right away?
A tool people can start using is a 6-lesson online course that is free and requires no registration. It covers working with people experiencing violence, case management and practitioners’ self-care.
A tool that practitioners or members of the public can start using is our open online course, which is free and requires no registration. This Project The course consists of 6 consecutive lessons covering an understanding of domestic violence, case management principles and basic approaches to working with people experiencing violence. This Project
The content also covers case management and multidisciplinary collaboration, legal processes and practitioners’ self-care. This Project Learners can save their progress and return to continue the course. There are game-based quizzes at the end of each lesson, and learners who score at least 80% receive an e-certificate. This Project
The course is therefore a learning resource covering both care for people experiencing violence and case management, rather than a direct risk-screening tool. A total of 596 people have enrolled, and 93 learners have completed the course and received a certificate. This Project
How does this work connect to systemic issues, and what kind of collaboration is needed?
This work is connected to the often-hidden problem of domestic violence. It uses a course to build understanding of how to support survivors and of multidisciplinary collaboration. We do not yet have a record of any specific collaboration proposals or needs.
Domestic violence is often hidden, meaning survivors may not be able to access support services. Healthcare facilities are highly accessible to the public, but abuse can be difficult to detect there. IssueJustice and Opportunity Work on this issue therefore includes both tools to support risk screening in healthcare facilities and courses to educate practitioners and the general public.

For DV Learning, we developed a course that centres on supporting survivors and views domestic violence as a shared responsibility of society. This Project The content covers case management and multidisciplinary collaboration. The main partners named are the Thailand Institute of Justice (TIJ), SHero Thailand and ChangeFusion, as well as relevant government agencies. This Project
We do not yet have a record of any specific collaboration proposals or needs from local areas or other agencies, so we cannot yet determine what form of additional partnership this work requires.
