The Women Against Abuse Education and Training Department provided community education and outreach to more than 5,000 individuals last year. The agency's educators are at the forefront of teen dating violence prevention in local schools. Additionally, the department recently trained first responders on the dynamics of domestic violence and effective, safe methods of intervention. Through these initiatives, the Education and Training Department seeks to prevent domestic violence, and improve the City's response to victims in need. Women Against Abuse provides trauma-informed behavioral health services through individual, family and group therapy at the Emergency Shelter, Sojourner House, and within a community-based clinic setting. Licensed therapists specifically trained in trauma-informed interventions work with clients to address and manage trauma symptoms that interfere with long-term goals for safety and stability. The Children's Services Team at Women Against Abuse cared for the developmental and academic needs of the youngest victims of domestic violence, serving 170 children and youth through the Early Learning Center at the shelter, the childcare center at Sojourner House, and the Afterschool program and Young Survivors Summer Camp.
