The Gateway Domestic Violence Center Community Outreach and Education program offers special domestic-violence training to the courts, law enforcement, and social-service agencies. Training topics include

• Dynamics of abuse
• The needs of battered women and their children
• Services available at Gateway House

In addition, our domestic-violence training for DFCS workers and schoolteachers covers how to recognize the warning signs that a child is in an abusive home, how to get help for abuse victims, and how children are affected by violence in the home.

Gateway Domestic Violence Center also provides a domestic-violence curriculum for use in schools from elementary through college level, focusing on the dynamics of abuse and the dangers of abusive relationships.
