Education

The YWCA of Spokane offers premier community education. The majority of our education services are free, and scheduling is simple. 




Free Workshops

For Everyone: Domestic Violence 101 (single one hour session)
This is our most popular workshop, and appropriate for groups, allied service providers, churches or organizations who want knowledge about domestic violence.      

For Instructors: Domestic Violence & Social Service Response (single session)
Due to Spokane's proximity to several major colleges, we offer a workshop aimed at classes of BSW, MSW, Nursing, and related programs of study. This workshop moves beyond domestic violence dynamics, and highlights the current status of social service response, including efficacy of services and the complicated impact of domestic violence on related systems.

For Healthcare: DV Dynamics, Best Practice & Emerging Trends In Patient Screening For IPV (single session)
Includes other topics relevant to healthcare providers, including what supportive services exist, and HIPPA.

For Movers & Shakers: Organizing Against Domestic Violence (three sessions)
Participants will gain organizing, media, and messaging skills.


 

Professional Workshops

Professional workshops are offered for a standard cost, though mission-allied organizations may be eligible for discounts. Consulting and professional workshops are appropriate for organizations that:

  • have experienced workplace violence and are working to manage the effects of domestic violence at work*
  • are seeking to expand their work to include community mobilizing
  • are building capacity to respond to domestic violence inside or outside your organization
  • do trauma work and have organizational stress 

Consulting provides you with access to decades of expertise in responding to the impact of domestic violence, and primary prevention of violence against women.

*If your organization has had a recent incident, knowing the impact on the staff ahead of time would be helpful.
