"DV" training



Last week we had a training / workshop in the Rec. The topic was Domestic Violence (aka "DV") and the presenter was Katie TePas. Katie does a lot of training for AK State Troopers (and other law enforcement agencies, I think).

It was kind of a technical affair, focusing a lot on definitions, procedures, etc., but, like I said, she works with law enforcement agencies, so that fits. Over all, it was a good event and most of those present seemed to appreciate it.

In attendance were visitors from Koyukuk, Kaltag, AK State Troopers, Nulato VPOs, Nulato service providers, community members and more.

It was arranged and put on as a collaborative effort by the Nulato Wellness Group, Violet Burnham/Mental Health, the AK State Troopers, etc.
