Projects & Programs
Cut Out Domestic Violence
This program is designed to raise awareness about domestic violence and to provide hair-care professionals with information on how to help if they have a client who is being abused.
About the Program
The Office of the Attorney General is sponsoring an initiative that provides hair-care professionals with training seminars throughout Florida, beginning April 2004. Topics will include the prevalence of domestic violence in Florida, signs of domestic violence, and how to discuss domestic violence with clients. Participants will receive referral information on domestic violence programs in Florida and a certificate of attendance.
Salon professionals will not be encouraged or required to report suspected cases of abuse, but will be a vital resource to victims by being prepared to provide helpful information about available resources in their communities.
Why Salon Professionals?
Salon professionals often see their clients regularly, month after month, year after year. They build relationships with their clientele and can often spot troubling patterns of behavior or changes in a client's behavior. Salon professionals are experienced listeners and it is not uncommon for women who are experiencing abuse to confide in them. In addition, the salon may be one of the few places a battered woman can go without the abuser.
Training Sites
Beginning in April, the Attorney General will sponsor trainings in local communities. The participating forty certified Domestic Violence Centers will be providing the trainings to salon professionals in their respective communities. Centers providing the trainings will be listed on www.fcadv.org, the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence website, (www.fcadv.org) beginning in April 2004.
