The workshop is part of a continuing series on domestic violence presented by Oakton's Alliance for Lifelong Learning and the Circuit Court of Cook County's Second Municipal District Family Violence Coordinating Council.
Open to community advocates and professionals working in the field of domestic violence, participants will gain a better understanding about:

- Ways to engage male teens as allies in intervention; and
