Spring 2017 CHH Healing Corps Training – Intensive

Beginning on March 13th (Monday), and continuing through to the 18th (Saturday), The CHH will be hosting training sessions for dedicated volunteers who are looking to make a positive impact on the community, and possibly bolster their resumes!

This traditional week-long intensive classroom curriculum gives participants the knowledge and tools to support survivors and be a leader in the work to build communities free from sexual violence. It includes instruction on self-care and reflection, an essential tool necessary for effectiveness and success in the social justice field. Upon successful completion of the training, participants can immediately begin counseling and advocacy work. Guidance and supervision is always provided throughout the duration of the volunteers’ service period.

Intimate Partner Abuse Education Program Certification Training
