Each year, the Action Alliance Training Institute trains
over 1,000 professionals working in the fields of sexual and
domestic violence. The Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence
Training Institute was established in 1996 to meet the ongoing
demand for education and training presented by professionals
working in sexual and domestic violence programs as well as
those working in allied fields. Contracted “faculty members” complete
a rigorous training before being accepted into the Institute.
Faculty members come from various professional backgrounds
(Social Work, Mental Health, Batterer Intervention, Education,
Legal) and train on a number of different topics. Those trainings are listed on this website. Additional trainings are available
on request.
Every year, the Training Institute creates new curricula
to meet the growing need for training that is thought-provoking
and relevant for professionals. In order to ensure that a new
training reflects current best practices, we gather experienced
professionals on that particular topic for a “focus group” brainstorming
session to help identify what information to present and what
kind of materials would be helpful to participants.
