November/December 2025

"What resonated most was seeing that the approach taken by the trainers reflects the work being done by professionals in the field. It offered valuable context and a broader understanding of systemic challenges. Domestic abuse is often difficult to convey to those who haven't experienced it first hand, particularly the profound loss of power victims face, and the training represented this reality very effectively."
