Dawn offers four different trainings. Most of these classes are offered three times each year: fall, winter and spring/summer.
DV101: 24 hours of basic domestic violence education. This class meets for 3 hours, on Mondays and Thursdays for 4 weeks. Offered from 12-3pm or 6-9pm (flexible to mix and match day/evening classes). This training option costs: $200.
DV201: 40 hours of basic and intermediate domestic violence education. Meets WAC training requirements for domestic violence advocates. Participants will attend all DV101 classes and continue in-depth learning for an extra 4 weeks. DV201 classes will continue to be offered on Mondays and Thursdays, but classes will only meet for 2 hours each (12-2pm or 6-8pm). This training option costs: $260.
DV201-V: 50 hours of basic and intermediate training, plus topics specific to direct-service volunteering with DAWN. Volunteers will attend all DV101 and DV201 classes, in addition to an extra hour at the end of all DV201 classes for targeted volunteer learning (12-3pm or 6-9pm). Volunteers will also have an additional 2 hours of a wrap-up and graduation (Date/Time TBD). If you wish to volunteer, the training is free and we request a one year commitment to volunteering an average of 3-4 hours/week.
DV-Support Group Facilitation Training:
Dawn’s Support Group Facilitation Training is targeted towards those
interested in learning hands-on skills related to facilitating a support
group for domestic violence survivors. These individuals may be our
future staff and volunteers, other professionals, or members of the
general community interested in learning more about this topic.
This training is offered once each year or until there is
increased demand. The next 8-hour training will be offered on Friday
November 5, 2010. The cost of this class is $100 unless the participant
commits to volunteering with DAWN for one year. If someone wishes to
volunteer in the capacity of a support group facilitator, it is also
required that this individual completes DV201-V.
