Between Friends is a provider of the 40-Hour Domestic Violence training that is required to become an Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Professional. This training provides participants with insight into the DV movement’s philosophical and political framework, and gives a solid foundation for supporting folks who experience violence. Future counselors, clinicians, social workers, and others have learned about Orders of Protection, crisis intervention, building an anti-oppression framework, and much more.
We believe that domestic violence is a problem that affects entire communities. In order to end domestic violence, and to ensure that in the meantime, survivors are given all the support they need, Between Friends works to educate and inform people about the persistence and severity of domestic violence.
