The Center for Advancing Domestic Peace works closely with providers of victims services. CADP staff members provide the training segment on Partner Abuse Intervention (PAI) services and abuser profiles for the 40-hour training sessions provided by Apna Ghar and others. The Center has also partnered with The Network (formerly the Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women’s Network) to provide similar training to Cook County Sheriff's Police, suburban law enforcement officers, and to Assistant State's Attorneys, State's Attorney's investigators, and Cook County Adult Probation officers.
The Center would like to help you with your training and Continuing Education needs. If your organization would like to host a workshop on some aspect of Partner Abuse Intervention, or if you would like to attend a workshop on a particular issue related to Partner Abuse Intervention, please let us know and we will consider what we may be able to offer that might help meet those needs.
