The Interfaith Center of New York and CONNECT is offering free educational workshops, support and technical assistance to religious leaders who recognize that domestic violence is an issue in their community and who wish to develop skills to respond safely and effectively to crises when they arise as well as educate their communities so that further abuse can be prevented.
In a series of educational workshops, religious leaders will explore the tactics and dynamics of abuse, crises intervention, and how to prevent domestic violence, including how to raise awareness about abuse in pre-marital counseling, youth groups, and the entire faith community. After religious leaders have completed the workshops, we will offer support and technical assistance as they develop Building Peaceful Families initiatives in their own community.
