CAPSA – Your Expert Trainers on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention
Domestic violence and sexual assault are pervasive problems that affect individuals, families, and communities. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting survivors of physical and sexual abuse, CAPSA believes that educating and training employees on these issues is crucial in creating a culture of prevention and support.
Why Employee Training on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault is Important
Domestic violence and sexual assault can have significant impacts on individuals and their ability to work. According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 60% of domestic violence survivors report losing their job as a direct result of their abuse. Additionally, survivors of sexual assault may struggle with physical and emotional effects that can impact their work performance and attendance. By providing training to employees on how to recognize and respond to domestic violence and sexual assault, employers can create a safer and more supportive work environment for all employees.
