Providing shelter services for people fleeing safety from abusive environments has been a cornerstone of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking service providers. Whole providing this critical service, we may find ourselves in conflict with the people we serve due to our own rules. This training is designed to reduce conflict and create the type of service provision we envision, and service recipients deserve.

This training will take place on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 from 9 AM – 5 PM in the MCEDSV Training Room, located at 3893 Okemos Rd, Suite B3, Okemos, MI 48864 (Google Map). The MCEDSV office complex has free self-parking available.

The conference room is equipped with an ice machine, water, coffee and tea. During the afternoon, there will be a scheduled break for attendees to eat on their own. Please check out the local area to learn what is readily available. There are many options around the hotel, from quick grabs to fast food, dine-in restaurants, and more! You are also welcome to use the lounge and kitchen facilities (refrigerator, microwave, and more) if you prefer to bring your own lunch.
