Training

The Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence (MCEDSV) training and consulting services further our mission of developing and promoting efforts aimed at the elimination of all domestic and sexual violence in Michigan. In order to reach that end, we create and design trainings to meet the needs of agencies and organizations in the state. Our training guide and some sample technical assistance materials are attached under the resource section below. For more information on our work, or to access custom training and technical assistance please feel free to send us a message through the contact us section.

“The training was great. We originally reached out to MCEDSV to provide training on Reality Based Leadership and later added DEI with another trainer.  The MCEDSV trainer was able to collaborate with the other trainer and put together a training with all the information that we asked for in a short time frame. All attendees were impressed and learned valuable info in the process!’ – September 2019
