Sex Worker Informed Courses

Domestic Violence Course Development

C.E.C. is in the process of developing a continuing education resource for domestic violence workers to better serve sex worker clients. Understanding the gaps in education that DV workers and advocates have received, along with the needs of sex workers who have experienced DV, is the first step in developing this resource. Please complete our questionnaire to help us with this project. We value your voice. Fill out what you are comfortable with- all questions are optional.
Are you in need of domestic violence services or a person to talk to? Crisis lines are available.
