Comments from participants in past VOD Facilitator Trainings:

“Very thorough and enlightening.”

“You taught by example; you showed us how instead of telling us how.”

“It made me see that you can deal with the offender by knowing you are doing it for the victim, thus you have to do it as well as you possibly can.”

“I’ve taken another one-week training, and two days in, I’ve already learned more here than I did in that one.”

“It was a life-changing experience that is especially important for professionals in the field.”

“I thought it was going to be about the offenders. Now I see that it has to be about the victims. And I see that the preparation takes a lot of time and a lot of involvement.”

“You gave us the space to process what happened to us in our own way. That was incredible and very empowering.”

“This was a powerful, well-designed and carried-out training.”

“I learned a lot about myself and my capacity for this work.”

“It made me realize how effective and necessary Victim Services truly is.”

“I thought I was a good listener, but I see that I could listen much better.”
