Outreach and Training for Local Faith-Based Organizations in Your PFJCI Community
The purpose of this document is to give you information about outreach and training that can be offered to faith-based organizations in your community. At Safe Havens, we believe that the support of the faith-based leaders in your community is one critical key to your success. By referring clients to the PFJCI, faith-based leaders can increase access to PFJCI services. By responding to your referrals, faith-based leaders can expand your capacity to meet the needs of your clients. In addition, faith-based organizations can strengthen community support of the PFJCI, provide a source of PFJCI volunteers and community connections, and help to bring about long-term change by encouraging healthy relationships and strong families. This document is a tool that can help you develop outreach and training for the faith-based organizations in your PFJCI community.
