Life Span 40-Hour Training

Upcoming 2010 Domestic Violence Training Dates to be Announced

Life Span is an approved Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Professional (ICDVP) training site. 

Topics included in our training:

 

 
  √   Dynamics of Domestic Abuse
 
  √   Effects of Abuse on Children
 
  √   Teen Dating Violence
 
  √   Cultural Competency
      √   Legal Issues


Life Span's Domestic Violence 40-Hour training is designed for anyone interested in the 40-hour Domestic Violence curriculum required by the Illinois Domestic Violence Act (IDVA), as well as individuals interested in becoming Life Span Crisis Hotline Volunteers.  Life Span crisis line volunteers should be over the age of 18 and have a home or mobile phone.  There is a fee for those who are interested in only the training and not in becoming a Life Span volunteer. 

Life Span is a nonprofit agency that provides comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence and their children.  Our services include domestic violence counseling, legal representation, criminal court advocacy, immigration services, hospital advocacy, public education, and systemic policy work. 

The next session will not be scheduled until Summer or Fall 2010; please check back after June.   

For more information, call: 847/824-0382.  Thank you.
