COLLABORATION ACROSS SYSTEMS

Explanation of Selected Solution
The first explanation of CAS is to bring all major stakeholders together and merge efforts to address the reoccurrence of domestic violence. The second explanation for the CAS program is related to this researcher's ambition to identify effective strategies to address elements of domestic violence. According to Barner and Carney (2011), domestic violence research lacks actual positive outcomes related to the existing interventions for batterers. Moreover, batterers are often court-ordered to attend AIPs following mandatory arrest and judgments. Though these tools are regularly used, it is still undefined if this approach leads to useful results (Barner & Carney, 2011). According to George & Stith (2014), a solution-focused approach can be a helpful tool in addressing domestic violence with batterers. The innovation with CAS is this researcher's best solution for addressing the reoccurrence of domestic violence, as it is a solution-focused program that builds on strengths that first time batterers achieve.
To address the reoccurring issues of domestic violence that feature child maltreatment, this researcher proposes the implementation of a CAS framework. This framework allows for professionals from various systems such as child welfare, law enforcement, mental health, family/ legal advocates, probation, health care, judicial officers and other s to work together from an initial 911 call reporting domestic violence to case closure. According to Babcock, Green, Robie, (2004), stakeholders working together, along with therapeutic interventions positively address the recidivism of batterers. This framework features expedient diagnostic treatment assessments for first time batterers, biweekly court to ensure follow-through, batterer mentoring, clinical interventions (both in individual and group settings), and Internal 90-day Facilitated Engagement Meetings as documented in the CAS Service Description (See Appendix B).

| Abstract | There is a problem with reoccurring domestic violence among batterers, and several systems are working to address the issue; however, these efforts are usually in a siloed fashion. Within the context of the stopping family violence Grand Challenge for Social Work, there have not been reasonable all-inclusive solutions. The size, scope, and social significance of the problem is significant, based on the fact that approximately 1600 women in the United States of America die due to reoccurring domestic violence. On average, either a current or past partner murders two women each week (Cerise, 2011). ❧ This capstone proposal will utilize the collaboration across systems framework to address the reoccurrence of domestic violence. It is designed to address critical issues of the day-to-day practice of stakeholders from various systems working together from the initial 911 call to successful case closure. The proposal represents an innovative way to address the problem of reoccurring domestic violence and stakeholders working in silos due to its request for regular services wrapped around domestic violence batterers. Based on evidence and logic developed from several existing stakeholder efforts abroad, the capstone will produce successful joint efforts of various stakeholders. While small to start due to this innovation pilot in Arapahoe County, Colorado, the long-term vision of the project is primarily due to the endless possibilities of its replication worldwide. |
