Free violence prevention training Aug. 20

Adults who live or work in Minneapolis and want to be more actively involved with violence prevention are welcome to a free training Aug. 20. Sign up by Aug. 19. Sessions are offered about every three months.

The Minneapolis Violence Prevention Community Champion Institute focuses on the public health approach to violence prevention. It teaches skills around de-escalation and conflict resolution, and how negative experiences can affect a child's development and response to stress. Participants learn to apply skills with a racial and social equity approach.

If you complete the training, you will receive a certificate of completion, have access to violence prevention resources, be invited to monthly spotlight trainings to continue building your skills, and have continued support and networking opportunities with fellow community champions.

Violence prevention training
10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20
Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center, 2001 Plymouth Ave. N., Room 105
Sign up by Aug. 19.
