With 45 years of care, understanding and change, MSH is an open door, a hand, and an advocate for survivors of intimate partner violence in South Carolina’s Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley Counties.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
The Education and Training Program at My Sister’s House, Inc. is committed to breaking the cycle of domestic violence through community education, engagement, and awareness.
Through education and training, we break down barriers to this complex issue and support survivors in our community.
We have a wonderful community outreach program led by Maryn Goolsby Favors, Director of Advancement. She and the MSH team, supported by our generous volunteers, are available to come and speak to your church, school, civic group, sorority, or fraternity about domestic violence in the Lowcountry, how it impacts the lives of the victims and their families, and what we can do to stem the violence that plagues our community.
Faith-Based Workshops in Response to Domestic & Sexual Violence
Our Lowcountry faith institutions provide critical support to their members and the community in so many ways. Leaders of all faiths have share with our experts that it's difficult to know the best way to respond to a disclosure of abuse, past or present, experienced at home – or even at church.
​
Our Faith-Based Workshops offer ongoing training and resources to help leaders of every faith meet the needs of those experiencing domestic and sexual violence. We are a dedicated partner for all faith communities working to build informed, compassionate environments that promote safety and survival in response to violence and victimization.
​
This program is meant for leaders of all faiths, volunteers within faith institutions and any individual who wants to learn more!
