In-Focus Violence Interrupter Training in Carbondale

Carbondale United Violence Interrupter

Violence interrupter training by Carbondale United

Carbondale United is focused on providing healing and community safety. This is something they're working to accomplish through awareness, education, and activism.

One of the programs that falls under all three of these efforts is their Violence Interrupters program. The goal is defuse stressful situations before they become violent.

Earlier this June, Carbondale United hosted training for people wanting to help with this effort. Find out how this program is as much prevention as it is reaction.

If you'd like to stay up to date with future training opportunities or to find out more about Carbondale United, follow them on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/createabettercommunity15
