TRAINING
My Training Style
I have worked in the trenches with people experiencing violence for over 20 years and people choosing to use violence for 10 years. I can train on both populations in-person or on Zoom.
My training tends to be interactive and based on my experiences working directly with our local families who were my best teachers. Please see below for examples of some of the topics I have trained the community on in the past.
If you are a non-profit organization, training fees will be determined after consultation. For businesses, the training fee is $120 per hour.
