End the Violence Toolkit Launch

Domestic Violence Requires A Community Response

Yesterday, May 9th, 2023, the Spokane Regional Domestic Violence Coalition (SRDVC), in collaboration with Providence Health, officially launched the End the Violence Toolkit for businesses. The toolkit serves as a resource for employers on how to educate their staff on domestic violence issues.

YWCA Spokane was pleased to serve as a partner and content expert on this project. We know helping the business community better support their staff will have a positive ripple in the region. The toolkit is comprised of lessons for any and all employees on the basics of recognizing and responding to domestic violence. It also has additional lessons for HR staff and management to help and implement a workplace policy against domestic violence.
