Training & Education Opportunities

This multi-faceted training for employers covers New York State’s mandated sexual harassment training and policy-making requirements. In addition to NYS mandates, they include strategies aimed at recognizing and preventing sexual harassment through bystander intervention and creating a healthy workplace environment.

YWCA MV offers a range of curricula for middle and high school students. Topics include bystander intervention, healthy relationships, and a basic, age-appropriate introduction to domestic and sexual violence.

The Crossroads batterers intervention program is a 26-week trauma-informed curriculum that works directly with individuals in the Mohawk Valley who have been mandated by the courts to engage in programming related to domestic violence offenses.
