My Sisters' Place provides customized training and technical assistance to all types of audiences, including service providers, government agencies, community groups, educational settings, and faith-based organizations that may be working with survivors of domestic violence and their children. Our hope is that by expanding the number of professionals and community members who have a deeper understanding of the dynamics and consequences of violence in the family, we can create a better system response to survivors as well as prevent further violence in our communities.
Please Note: Our training program has shifted to a virtual model for the foreseeable future so that we can continue to provide critical information and education while maintaining social distancing measures to ensure the health and safety of staff and participants.
Our workshops are designed to be highly interactive, utilizing education lectures, small group discussions, and experiential activities.
