Understanding Gender-Based Violence, including Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence, is essential for everyone, regardless of your profession or relationship status. This interactive training provides participants with foundational knowledge to recognize and respond to gender-based violence 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.

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
• Domestic 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.
