How We Train:
The Partnership is committed to strengthening the capacity of advocates, service providers, and allied groups to effectively support survivors of domestic violence. Through comprehensive training and tailored technical assistance, we equip organizations with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to deliver trauma-informed, survivor-centered services.
Our Training content covers a wide range of critical topics, including safety planning, advocacy strategies, shelter and transitional housing access, confidentiality, economic empowerment, and peer learning support. Training is delivered via webinars, workshops, on-demand resources, and through collaborative learning spaces to help us meet the evolving needs of the field. Our training provides individualized support to programs, helping them to be able to navigate complex challenges, implement best-practice, and enhance their organizational capacity.

The Paid Family Leave Toolkit, developed by the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence and the California Work & Family Coalition, highlights the connection between paid family leave and domestic violence prevention. This resource provides key messaging, policy insights, and advocacy tools to promote economic security and workplace protections for survivors and families.
