Harbor House is excited to announce its upcoming certified 40-hour Domestic Violence Training in April.
“Our 40-Hour Domestic Violence Training Program is an excellent resource to empower the community to become advocates for survivors of domestic violence both in their professional and personal lives,” noted Jenny Shoenwetter, Harbor House Executive Director and CEO. “Providing education to passionate community members serves as part of Harbor House’s core goal to support survivors of domestic violence through advocacy, empowerment, and prevention.”
For this certified training, 20 hours will be virtual, self-paced modules. The other 20 hours will be in-person sessions, beginning the week of Monday, April 3, with participants meeting every Tuesday, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., and Thursday, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., for four weeks. Dinner is provided.
The cost of the training is $150, which will be reimbursed after 20 hours of volunteering with Harbor House. CEUs for 20 contact hours are available for an additional $30. This training is free for healthcare professionals (except the cost of CEUs, if needed).
