Room Chicago, IL 60612 Training fee for members $40 Training fee for non-members $60 .
Course Description: Domestic Violence programs understand
their need to move beyond responding to and supporting survivors healing to a sustainable strategy that prevents domestic

transformation of the social norms and behaviors that perpetuate violence against women and girls-appears to be a challenge.
At this training participants will learn from the experiences of an awesome group of community educators, community organizers,
activists, advocates and academics. Come and learn the ABC's of educational principles and methodologies which have
been successfully implemented by Chicago programs! Learn how to engage youth and other community members in your projects,
