Teachers to receive violence training The Post and Courier - Charleston SC newspaper:


"Charleston County teachers will be among those in five school districts taking part in a new state Department of Education pilot teacher education initiative aimed at reducing family and dating violence.

Charleston teachers, along with those in Greenville, Aiken, Barnwell and Allendale, will participate in a special training curriculum on the effects of domestic violence and teen dating violence on children, how to identify and support a child witness, and how to respond to a child's disclosure and make the appropriate referrals for help."
