About this, we can add that Rosa Monteiro intends to “ensure the training and supervision of psychologists / as a recruiter for a national network, through the definition of specific recommendations and standards, promoting a paradigm shift in the intervention with children and young people victims of domestic violence and, especially, the creation of a critical mass of professionals in this area, namely through a scholarship of specialists”.
The recruitment of professionals for a scholarship of psychologists and supervision and training of these elements will be a responsibility of the Portuguese Psychologists Association.According to the Government note “the impact of domestic violence against children and young people takes on an expression that requires a more attentive intervention, namely in RNAVVD.
