Lubbock Public Health is hosting a free domestic violence awareness training on November 17 from 12 p.m.
The one-hour session aims to raise awareness, encourage prevention and help people recognize when someone may need support. It breaks into five parts, starting with what domestic violence is and how it affects individuals and families.
Next comes types of abuse, including physical, emotional, verbal and financial. The training then covers warning signs, meaning the red flags and behaviors that may point to an abusive relationship.
The last two parts focus on getting help. One explains available resources and support services, plus how to safely seek assistance. The other covers when to reach out, where to turn and how to support someone experiencing abuse.
Folks can come with different goals. Some want to educate themselves, while others want to help a loved one or become a stronger advocate. For anyone who has wondered what to say or where to point a friend, the session promises information and resources on exactly that.
