Tailored to the specific needs of each audience, Womenspace receives tremendous praise for the informative, dynamic and interactive style of its presentations.

You can have a vital role in ending domestic and dating violence by arranging for a Womenspace speaker for your group, event, congregation or workplace.

Over 80% of people experiencing domestic violence don’t initially contact a hotline or shelter: they tell friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, members of their congregation, or other people they know.

Overwhelmingly, what they hear back is not helpful, and is often hurtful.

You can help us bring our message of the helpful things to say and services we provide to the community members – the people most likely to learn for whom domestic violence is happening.

Womenspace makes dozens of contacts each year, providing in-service training to a wide variety of agencies, awareness to community groups, information displays at events, and age-appropriate dating violence prevention presentations at all grade levels.

Examples include:

- training police offices, social service agencies, health care providers and community members on domestic violence dynamics and appropriate responses.

- trainings and presentations to social service providers, healthcare and emergency response workers, higher education classes and community groups focus on how domestic violence relationships develop, effective intervention strategies and effects on children and communities.

- trainings and presentations to youth, school staff, and youth service providers encompass dating violence, the effects of domestic violence on children, and prevention of violence.
