National trainers to provide domestic violence and HIV training

The National Network to End Domestic Violence will be providing a two-day training for local advocates using the Positively Safe project curriculum on the intersection of domestic violence and HIV prevention. The training will take place on Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the United Technologies Center in Bangor.

This training is made possible through the collaborative efforts of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence, and Partners for Peace. 

Developed in 2010, The Positively Safe Project addresses the intersection of HIV/AIDS and domestic violence. Together with the National Domestic Violence & HIV/AIDS Advisory Committee, NNEDV developed a curriculum to train service providers in both fields. 

Nationally recognized presenters include Ashley Slye (she, her), deputy director of the Positively Safe Project, and Robin Pereira (she, her) from the National Network to End Domestic Violence.
