It is important that participants start from the same place of learning. The pre-work can be completed through the ECC's
digital learning platform by July 16. You must create an account and add the Advocacy for Victims of Abuse Online Training module under Love Mercy Do Justice. Once completed, please email us a copy of your certificate.
The AVA Online Training is a self-paced, 11-session course which will educate clergy, lay leaders, and anti-abuse advocates on issues of intimate partner violence, teen dating violence, and childhood sexual assault. The purpose of this tutorial is to provide leaders with needed information on issues of domestic violence (also referred to as family violence). Given the prevalence of abuse, all faith leaders need this basic knowledge. This format permits you to gain this information at your convenience and at no cost to you.
