Improving Domestic Violence Responses in Rhode Island
Training and Education
Recommendation 2 | Cross-train and educate DV-specific agencies and other
community providers that serve demographically specific populations.
Curriculum and training practices include the following characteristics:
✓ Include dynamics of violence and trauma-informed care,
culturally or demographically specific service provision, and
accessibility of services and shelter spaces.
✓ Provide opportunities for training that are by and for individuals
from demographically specific communities, such as advocates
who are Spanish speaking, who serve refugee populations, or
who work with individuals who have disabilities.
✓ Extend training opportunities to the community, including
leaders who are consulted regarding responses to DV in refugee
or immigrant communities.
