They say the training is designed for professionals, community leaders and anyone who wants to know more about it.
“The goal of The Nehemiah Project is to help bring our communities and systems together to rebuild the [proverbial] walls to help those affected by domestic violence,” Dr. Mary Foley, Merryman House executive director, said in a news release. “Attendees will get to hear from national trainers and leave with knowledge and practical steps and ways they can help survivors. I hope our communities will rebuild the walls so that together we can break the silence of domestic violence.”
