Trainings

HEALTHY FAMILIES

This training will highlight the complicated dynamics of domestic and sexual violence, their function, and different types of violence. Participants will

  • Understand that domestic violence (DV) is a taught behavior
  • Be able to recognize that DV is predictable and preventable
  • Be able to define it, see red flags and warning signs, and recognize myths surrounding domestic and sexual violence.

The more our community knows about domestic and sexual violence, the healthier and more safe families can be.
