Total people trained: 1239 at 32 workshops

One of my favorite training moments in 2008 was in Moore county when a law enforcement officer shared that he realized the harm of some of his comments to battered women. He made a commitment to relate to victims in new and different ways based on what he learned in the workshop.

I'm looking forward to 2009 and many more workshops!
