As a domestic/family violence counselor, an individual works with people who have been physically, emotionally, sexually or economically abused by an intimate partner or family member. The Domestic/Family Violence degree at College of DuPage prepares students to sit for the Illinois State Certification exam to become a Certified Domestic Violence Professional (CDVP).
