Sonas offers a Domestic Violence awareness training for people who want to increase their awareness of domestic abuse and brief interventions. This training is aimed primarily at professionals who may encounter domestic abuse in the course of their work. However, it is also open to anyone who wants to learn more about domestic violence and the work that services provide.

Benefits of Our Training
