Testimonial
“I would like property managers to know that they don't have to have all the answers. That’s an impossible burden. They just need two things: an awareness of DFV and the signs it might be occurring, and what to do next with that knowledge. And this training will teach you that.
Since doing the training myself, I can’t not see things anymore – I have this new radar permanently switched on – but I also know best-practice guidelines about how I can respond. And I feel confident to respond well.”
