Trainings and Workshops

The Center offers a variety of trainings and workshops to administrators, counselors and other line staff who work with women, girls, men, boys, and gender-diverse individuals in criminal justice settings.

New Virtual Training Options - We have been providing our new live-online Facilitator Trainings since April 2020 in response to the need for many staff to work from home. These trainings are just as interactive, engaging and impactful, and cover all of the same content as our in-person, onsite trainings. We've received very positive feedback and look forward to scheduling something for your agency.
