REACH will be offering a 40-hour training on domestic violence this January. The training is an opportunity for community members, other service providers, as well as new REACH staff and volunteers to learn about domestic violence and how to support survivors. In the past, REACH has been able to offer this training twice a year, in the spring and fall. This year, REACH is excited to add a winter session to allow students to complete spring semester internships with us. This will be the first time we are able to hold trainings at our own office, rather than offsite locations, because we now have the space!
Registration is necessary to attend these trainings. We will provide the address to participants after registration is complete. Community members are welcome to attend for one, several, or all sessions. The fee for community members to participate is either $25 per session, or $100 for the full training. If cost is prohibitive, please email lauren@reachma.org to discuss accommodations.
