How do we partner with RespectED to deliver violence prevention programs in our organization or community?

Become a Training Partner

A Training Partner is a school or organization that offers RespectED: Violence & Abuse Prevention programming for children, youth and adults using their own personnel who are trained and certified as Prevention Educators or Trainers.

The first step in this process is for the Training Partner and the Red Cross to sign a Training Partner Agreement. RespectED then trains and certifies Prevention Educators or Trainers within the school or organization. Prevention Educators and Trainers deliver RespectED programs to children, youth and adults within their own organization. RespectED provides continuing support and mentorship.  

Please contact your local RespectED representative for more information on becoming a Training Partner.
