Coordinated Community Response Multidisciplinary Training

You're CCR team is invited to a free in-person training at North Dakota State College of Science, Wahpeton, ND! This training will focus on enhancing your community's response to domestic violence cases. CCR's include, but are not limited to: law enforcement, State's Attorneys, probation, dispatch, domestic violence offender programs, and advocates.

We are excited to welcome Melissa Scaia as our trainer. Melissa (Petrangelo) Scaia has worked to address gender-based violence for nearly 25 years locally in Minnesota, nationally, and globally. She works internationally as part of the Global Alliance for Women’s Safety and Equality (GAWSE). As part of GAWSE, she currently works for UN Women to provide training and technical assistance globally and for Domestic Abuse Project locally in Minnesota as the co-coordinator of the Minneapolis Coordinated Community Response (CCR) to domestic violence and a facilitator of a men's intervention program group. In her current work, she brings a wealth of experience as the former Director of International Training at Global Rights for Women, co-founder of Pathways to Family Peace, and former executive director of Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs (DAIP), also known as “the Duluth Model.” Before working in Duluth, she was the executive director of Advocates for Family Peace (AFFP) for 17 years, a local domestic violence advocacy program where she advocated for victims of domestic violence. She has led and organized three Coordinated Community Responses (CCRs) to address domestic violence in Minnesota. She has been a consulting trainer for many national training organizations on domestic violence, coercive control and child abuse, including the Center for Court Innovation (CCI), the Battered Women’s Justice Project (BWJP), and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ).
