Domestic Violence Training Series

Hale Santuwaryo’s Training Series is a culturally grounded educational program that equips healthcare professionals, advocates, and community partners to recognize, respond to, and prevent intimate partner and domestic violence in Hawaiʻi, with attention to the needs of Filipinx communities.

Rooted in trauma-informed, survivor-centered care and aligned with national best practices, the series offers practical skills for real-world clinical and community settings. This initiative is conducted in partnership with the Domestic Violence Action Center, strengthening the clinical, legal, and community relevance of each training.

Continuing Medical Education

Select offerings within the Hale Santuwaryo Training Series are accredited for Continuing Medical Education (CME) through the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), supporting clinicians in meeting professional learning requirements while advancing culturally responsive, survivor-centered care.

Accreditation status and credit details will be listed with each individual training announcement.

Purpose of the Series

The Training Series aims to:

  • Improve early identification of violence and abuse

  • Strengthen culturally responsive clinical and community interventions

  • Build coordinated referral pathways across Hawaiʻi

  • Support healing, safety, and long-term prevention

Each offering is intentionally designed to foster reflection, discussion, and real-world application rather than passive learning alone.

Upcoming Trainings

Future training opportunities will be announced here.

Because certain sessions are offered to targeted professional or community cohorts, registration may be limited for select offerings. Broader public sessions will be posted as they become available.
