Why 101 Things?
The 101 format reflects our commitment to producing training material to help busy people learn or up-grade skills in a convenient way, respectful of their multiple commitments in life. There are no recipe approaches or cookie-cutter prescriptions for working with abused women and their children. And we don’t want to imply by the 101 title that there are. But there is a lot to know about this field and usually no post-secondary educational or training program teaches everything people want to learn. Each woman is unique and at a singular place in her life. She deserves advocacy and support matching and meeting her needs. Instead of prescriptions, we offer principles to guide interventions, flexible tools for practice, and guidance on skill building. We assume that you know the woman best and you need and want tools and tips to use flexibly as the situation dictates.
