Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, Training on Domestic Violence
It has been an extraordinary summer at the Domestic Violence Network. We have collaborated with educators, law enforcement, and a variety of community organizations equipping them to prevent and respond to domestic violence, dating abuse, and sexual assault. Since the beginning of March, we have worked with the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, the youth branch of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.
Meeting several times, we discussed how they can equip their staff, teachers, and conductors in responding to domestic violence, dating abuse, and sexual assault. We decided to create clear policies and procedures which they will adopted that define these protocols. On July 23rd, DVN conducted the first of several workshops on the new policies and procedures. The staff was engaged, eager to learn about these issues, and glad to have gone through the training.
