Sitkans Against Family Violence (SAFV)
Community Education
SAFV provides trainings for groups and agencies that have an interest in domestic violence, sexual assault, and the effects of violence on children. Because domestic violence carries over into every aspect of a person's life, training and information is important for employers, ministers, health care professionals, teachers, counselors, and the general public in order to support victims and their children. There is no cost for this service.
Outreach Program
The Outreach Coordinator is available for:
- Presentations to community organizations and programs on the dynamics of domestic violence and SAFV services.
- Professional trainings regarding domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, healthcare screening for domestic violence, cost and impact on employers, spiritual and religious support, and the impact of domestic violence on children.
Please contact the Outreach Coordinator at SAFV to schedule an Outreach Program training.
Trainings on Children's Issues
SAFV provides trainings for professionals including counselors, teachers, ministers, and others who work with children on the effects of domestic violence on children. This training gives a brief overview of the dynamics of domestic violence, warning signs that a child is witnessing domestic violence, the impact of witnessing violence on children, and how to help keep a child safe.
