Domestic Violence Awareness Training

We hear you! One of the top concerns in our community is the prevalence of domestic violence. Many crimes in the area, including homicides, have been linked to domestic abuse situations.

In response to growing community concern regarding domestic violence, North Shadeland Alliance is offering a FREE public awareness program presented by the Domestic Violence Network of Greater Indianapolis.

Entitled, “The Dynamics of Domestic Violence,” the program will provide you with a basic understanding of domestic violence and unhealthy relationships, as well as information on the stigmas and stereotypes surrounding domestic violence.

Through this training, participants will understand various forms of abuse, statistics and prevalence of domestic violence, the Cycle of Violence, and barriers to leaving an unhealthy or abusive relationship. This training will also provide information on local and national resources.
