More Safe Spaces: Supporting Children Exposed to Batterers

Early Childhood Learning Community (ECLC) presents its January 2009 training:
 
MORE SAFE PLACES:SUPPORTING CHILDREN EXPOSED TO BATTERERS
How can you know if a child is living in a home with domestic violence? How can you help a battered woman’s children? In this interactive session we’ll discuss the effects on children of life with a battering parent, and ways you can make a positive difference.
 
AUDIENCE
Parent educators, case managers, health and mental health providers, child care providers, home visitors, child development specialists, family advocates, direct service staff, supervisors, and others working with young children and families.
