“The PurpleOne trainers immediately made me comfortable by presenting factual information about a difficult topic in a non-threatening manner. The national statistics presented were daunting, but the local statistics were overwhelming. The trainers presented ways to be a prosocial bystander, but not put the victim or others in danger. I highly recommend this valuable training.”
“I learned that domestic violence isn’t about the abuser being out of control. It’s really about an abuser choosing who they hurt, when they hurt them, and how they hurt them. Because an abuser works very hard at hiding what they’re doing, I learned how to spot signs of abuse and ways I can safely help a victim.”
