Imagine Nonviolence
In collaboration with local community experts, ENAHEC is training doulas and mothers with a goal of addressing the pressing gun violence, domestic violence, and mental health rates in Erie and Niagara Counties. Doulas are training to both ethically and safely screen clients for domestic violence, as well as the proper steps to provide resources to assist the client in domestic violence. Pregnant individuals and mothers are provided with classes on the topics of firearms safety and provided skills for de-escalating potentially dangerous situations.
