Please plan to join us for both sessions on March 23 & 24\, 2026 from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM\, as the training is designed to build across the two 90‑minute days. \nIn violence prevention work\, our ability to foster safety\, connection\, and healing in communities depends on how well we care for ourselves.
