This year we are very happy to be able to provide a Domestic Violence training series in conjunction with the Woman and Children’s Alliance.  This series will consist of six (6) 90 minute sessions.  Each session will build upon the previous session so attendance at all sessions is preferable.  A breakdown of the subject matter is as follows:

February 16 - DV 101 (this will include differentiating between abuse and poor behavioral responses to abuse) 

March 15 - Trauma-informed techniques and identifying and responding to abusers 

April 19 - The effects of DV on children and creating realistic, safety-conscious Parenting Plans 

Sept 20 - Environmental considerations: boundaries with abusers and victims

Oct 18 - Considerations with same gender couples

Nov 15 - Self-care for practitioners

In addition to our Domestic Violence series, we are also offering the following training sessions over the summer:
