DVSN's Fall 2016 Volunteer Advocate Training

Domestic Violence Services Network, Inc. (DVSN) is holding its

biannual Volunteer Advocate Training program at the Concord Police
Department from September 13 through October 1, 2016. This 40-hour
training session takes place over a 3-week period on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. -
3:30 p.m.

Once trained, DVSN’s volunteer Advocates provide direct service over
the phone, at the Concord District Court, and at Emerson Hospital to
people affected by domestic violence. The 40-hour training is designed
to familiarize you with the many aspects of domestic violence and give
you the skills necessary to provide confidential and appropriate
services to DVSN’s clients.

DVSN is a community-based organization that works to combat domestic
violence in collaboration with the police departments of its twelve
member towns (Acton, Bedford, Boxborough, Carlisle, Concord, Lexington,
Lincoln, Maynard, Stow, Sudbury, Wayland, and Weston), Hanscom AFB, and
the Concord District Court.
