Community Education & Training

 Domestic abuse is everyone's responsibility, and everyone can make a difference.

There is no excuse for domestic abuse.

Overview: Every nine seconds in the U.S., a woman is violently assaulted by her partner. In Montgomery County civil court data indicate that more than 1,500 protection from abuse orders are filed each year. The Community Education & Training Department is dedicated to raising awareness about the problem of domestic violence in Montgomery County. Our education and outreach activities are designed to prevent men and women from getting into abusive relationships and to motivate community members to take action to help stop domestic abuse.
