The most important thing is to get training. Most professional associations and various public departments (health, education, and social services) organize and offer courses or training programs on addressing or preventing gender-based violence.
In general, the WHO, for example, has designed the Care program for women who have suffered violence: a WHO training program aimed at health service providers.
We share some guides, protocols or manuals that can serve as a guide:
- Protocol for addressing male violence in the area of health in Catalonia
- Gender violence: how it affects women's health
- Touching Equality. A contribution to the prevention of gender-based violence through co-education
- Social work and gender violence
- Psychology and gender violence
- Manual for trainers on sexual and gender violence : to improve the professional competence of workers in the reception and care sector for migrants and refugees.
