The Community Peace Training Committee is a multi-agency
group that coordinates local trainings on issues related to family
violence, such as Domestic Violence, Stages I & II; Sexual Assault
Training; Safe Havens Training; Recognizing and Reporting Child
Abuse and Neglect; and The 3 C’s –Connectedness, Competence,
Control: Encouraging Positive Relationships; and The Effects of
Violence on Brain Development.
This Training Committee also organizes the annual conference in
Chatham County, called “Working Together to Keep Families
Safe”. The committee has been coordinating collaboration efforts
in the county, as a follow-up to Safe Start sponsored collaboration
training last year. These efforts include a Grant Writer’s
Roundtable, a community-wide vision statement and plans to develop
a "virtual community center". As part of this, the Committee
has been leading the human services needs forecasting effort, in
which community partners analyzed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
and threats to human services in Chatham County, prioritized needs,
and created action steps at the Community Resource Council meetings
in June, September, and November.
