More Interest in Workshops Wanted

Eleven area organizations received certificates for completing a workshop to help them deal with domestic violence in the workplace legislation.

The Rainy River District Women's Shelter of Hope put on the workshops last fall.

Executive Director Donna Kroocmo hopes to attract more interest this year.

"Where hoping for more organizations in attendance," says Kroocmo, "and for the organizations today that received the Level 1 or Level 2 certificate that next year they can bump that up to a Level 2 or Level 3."

Kroocmo says the workshops help businesses and organizations recognize the signs of abuse and how to take action.
