Get Educated & Save A Life
Other than your close friends and family who knows the most about you? Probably your hair stylist correct? It’s no secret that when we sit in that, and begin to make small talk, we often divulge a ton of information about ourselves and our personal lives. Because of this, professionals in the beauty industry often see and hear things that could be concerning but they may not know what to say or how to help. The YWCA is pleased to offer training for salon professionals. CUT IT OUT® is a program dedicated to mobilizing licensed professionals, students, and others to fight the epidemic of domestic abuse in communities across the United States.
Stylists, barbers, estheticians & make-up artists can spot signs of abuse in clients: bruises, self-blame, and sudden changes. Salons & spas are safe havens and are often one of the few places victims can safely share that they need help. Register today for a free CUT IT OUT® training or find a trainer to schedule training for your salon, school, or beauty event. You’ll learn how to:
- Recognize signs and symptoms of domestic abuse
- Respond to victims using discreet and empathetic techniques
- Refer victims to professional safety resources
The YWCA of Genesee County is a registered trainer of this program. If you are interested you may register below or contact us at 585-343-5808 and ask for Eve Graham, Director of Domestic Violence.
