4. What type of service model must a domestic violence agency use?

Answer: Survivor-centered and empowerment model(See WAC 388-61A-0260.)


5. Which of the following are service requirements for domestic violence shelters? Identify three.

Correct answers:
24/7 access to a trained staff person.
A safe, supportive environment for talking about domestic violence and what led to the person coming to get support.
A private setting for supportive services to protect confidentiality of conversations.
Safety planning.
Assistance with child care during individual and group support sessions.
Supportive services for children/youth residing in domestic violence shelters.

Incorrect answers:
Case management notes.
Requiring shelter residents to attend support groups.
Free car repair.

Case management notes are not necessarily encouraged, because case management can sometimes interfere with effective advocacy-based counseling, and because long, written notes can be a risk to confidentiality. Domestic violence shelters contracted with DSHS may not require residents to participate in supportive services. (WAC 388-61A-0260)


6. What type of training is required for paid or volunteer staff working with shelter residents?

Answer: 20 hours of initial training on domestic violence advocacy-based counseling, and 30 hours of annual training after the first year. The training must address certain topics related to domestic violence advocacy-based counseling, such as safety planning. (See WAC 388-61A-0350.)
