Domestic Violence Training
6 CEUs for Licensed Counselors, Social Workers, ICDVP, PAIP Online Training.
This training is for church leaders, lay people, and professionals.
One in four women in our churches experience domestic violence and abusive relationships. It is important to learn the various aspects of DV to appropriately minister to those who experience toxic relationships.
FOCUS faith based domestic violence training is a training program designed for those interested in working with domestic violence victims/survivors within the Christian community. Participants can expect to learn the dynamics of domestic abuse and best practices in co-facilitation of groups and/or a role of an advocate.
