• Work closely with the Director of Training & Community Engagement to provide or coordinate relevant training and educational opportunities for MDT members and community partners.
• Support education related to child abuse awareness and prevention, as well as investigation, prosecution, and treatment.
• Help strengthen professional relationships and collaboration throughout BraveBe’s service area.
