    E4: Case Management and Survivor Support: Bridging Systems
    Mar 4 2026
    E4: Case Management and Survivor Support: Bridging Systems Sarah Tedder, Case Manager, 4 Sisters Solutions Domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) affect individuals across all demographics. Human services and law enforcement responders often encounter IPV cases and must collaborate to support survivors. Despite their shared goal of ensuring safe families and communities, these collaborations can be challenging due to differing priorities, processes, and responsibilities. In this episode, Sarah Tedder, a case manager with 4 Sisters Solutions, discusses the intersection of DV and child welfare. DV is a factor in many of the cases that Ms. Tedder manages, and she believes that child welfare professionals can benefit from more training on the “power-and-control dynamics” of these relationships. She says DV survivors are too often held accountable in cases, rather than those causing harm, and there needs to be an accountability shift from focusing on what a survivor can do to protect children to emphasizing what an abuser can do to stop creating violence. Tune in to learn her definition of success in DV cases and her specific hopes for future improvements to Florida’s child welfare system. “I would like to see a professional being available [in the judicial process] that can provide insight into their perspective on addressing the batterers in the case, not just the survivor. But really getting somebody in there that can address the alleged perpetrator right out of the gate because that’s really where the accountability needs to start from.” Sarah Tedder Content Note: This episode contains an in-depth discussion about domestic violence and intimate partner violence, including descriptions of abusive behavior and its emotional and psychological impacts. These topics may be distressing or activating for some listeners. If you or someone you know is experiencing violence or feels unsafe, please consider taking a break from this episode or listening with support.

  • E3: Law Enforcement and Domestic Violence: A Collaborative Approach

    E3: Law Enforcement and Domestic Violence: A Collaborative Approach
    Feb 25 2026
    E3: Law Enforcement and Domestic Violence: A Collaborative Approach Dep. Chief Maurice Holmes, Tallahassee Police Department Domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) affect individuals across all demographics. Human services and law enforcement responders often encounter IPV cases and must collaborate to support survivors. Despite their shared goal of ensuring safe families and communities, these collaborations can be challenging due to differing priorities, processes, and responsibilities. In this episode, Deputy Chief Maurice Holmes of the Tallahassee Police Department says that throughout his career, he has seen more training to better equip officers for DV and child welfare–related responses. Today’s training recognizes DV is a complicated cycle of childhood trauma, mental illness, and patterns of harm. While arrests rarely provide a full solution, Deputy Chief Holmes says achieving long-term success for families must include effective collaboration among community partners on interventions. “We want to make a positive impact in children’s lives because they’re suffering trauma. We’re all working together. I just wish everyone had the mindset that we’re a team.” Dep. Chief Maurice Holmes Content Note: This episode contains an in-depth discussion about domestic violence and intimate partner violence, including descriptions of abusive behavior and its emotional and psychological impacts.
