Approximately every 3 months, Safe Haven facilitates its Domestic Violence and Anti-Trafficking Seminar – a foundational training that is open to the public. This training is well-suited for community members that might occasionally work with victims/survivors of domestic violence and/or human trafficking, or for anyone interested in learning more about Safe Haven’s work in the community. 

During this 3-hour seminar in person training, participants will explore an array of topics including: 

  • Overview of Safe Haven’s programs, eligibility and referral process
  • Definitions of domestic violence and human trafficking
  • The intersection of domestic violence and human trafficking
  • Risk factors and indicators of relationship abuse and human trafficking
  • Characteristics of abusers and traffickers
  • A brief overview of human trafficking typologies
  • Basics of the neurobiology of trauma
  • Strategies and steps for providing support to adolescent and adult victims/survivors

Safe Haven’s seminars use an array of teaching methods and incorporate opportunities for participants to reflect and apply the content they are learning through discussion and activities.
