Training Team

Charge: To identify potential institutional partners to develop and carry out research, training, and capacity-building for service providers and first responders in the area of young children's exposure to violence. This team will become the institutional home for this issue once federal grant ends; thus, the institutional partners will have to be willing to make an on-going commitment to research and training in this area.

Summary of Efforts to Date: The Training Team meets regularly to develop strategies for training across multiple venues on exposure to violence. The team has worked with the Police Department to help develop the appropriate training on the new police protocol and child development. Police training began in September; the Mayor's Office on Domestic Violence HelpLine has also been trained on a new protocol that expands its focus to community violence. Additional tasks include ongoing exploration of new curricula and methods of presentation.
