Understanding domestic violence and its various tactics of abuse is essential for everyone, regardless of your profession or relationship status. This interactive training provides participants with foundational knowledge to recognize and respond to domestic violence, including emotional, financial, and technology-assisted abuse, in a survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive manner. By attending, participants will gain practical skills to support survivors and connect them with resources, ultimately contributing to the prevention and intervention efforts against domestic violence. 

At the end of this training participants will be able to: 

• Identify different tactics of domestic violence. 
• Effectively support survivors of domestic violence and assist them in accessing resources for safety and healing. 
• Contribute to prevention and intervention efforts against domestic violence in their respective roles and communities. 

This program is facilitated by the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, and is one of three trainings being offered. Please consider registering for the other two sessions:

• Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence
• Gender-Based Violence 101

This public program is offered by the New York State Library and made possible by federal Library Service and Technology Act funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which enable the New York State Library to champion lifelong learning.
