- Domestic Violence and Children- what happens to a child when exposed to domestic violence?
- Sexual Assault- an overview including statistics, effect on the victim, drug facilitated rape.
- Drugs, Alcohol and Domestic Violence– does drinking cause violence? How victims cope and how it increases lethality.
The training will begin at 9:00am and end at 12:00pm and refreshments will be served. All attendees will receive a certificate of completion.
This training includes part of the basic components for the required Department of Human Services employees’ training.

I am the mother of three supermen who have been the joy of my life. I have four happy and wonderful grand-babies. I try to keep myself healthy by singing, playing the piano, sewing, and spending time with my family and my close friends sharing a meal. Having a sense of humor is part of what keeps us sane in our office. I love to try new things, the latest is learning to ride my new motorcycle.
