AWARE is offering a 40-hourCommunity Education and Advocacy TrainingSept 7 - Sept 20(Every Mon & Thurs 5:30 pm 8:30 pm & every Sat & Sun 9:00 am - 4:00 pm)
Date: Sept 7, 2010 - Sept 20, 2010 Cost: $25.00 (materials) Where: AWARE The Advocacy Training is in two parts. Part 1 (9/7-9/16 Community Education) is a 25-hour course of study which explores the history and foundation of adult and child sexual abuse and domestic violence, related chemical abuse and cultural oppression. Our nationally recognized presenters continuously revise and update their presentations of statistical research and combined decades of professional experience in the field. The training looks deeply into the cultural norms that promote violence and oppression toward women, especially women of color. We examine the coordinated services (housing, legal, medical, mental health and law enforcement) provided in the Juneau community to support victims in regaining a healthy life and offer prevention throughout our society. Part 2 (9/18 - 9/20 Volunteer Advocacy Training) is a 15-hour intensive and interactive study of how these programs actually work. We get hands on with Advocacy training by practicing to create safety plans, write protective orders, conduct lethality assessments and walk through emergency response procedures. In total, this 40-hour training is an eye opening experience regarding the health and well-being of our community. We are offered a deep contemplation of our own personal beliefs and thought constructs about women in society in the 21st century. This training is invaluable to those wanting to understand modern feminism and social health. It gives an extraordinary glimpse into the possibility of a non-judgmental, fully empowering environment in which women can heal with their children and regain or gain for the first time the tools to address the responsibilities of a healthy life with healthy relationships.
