Salon professionals are key allies in helping fight the epidemic of domestic abuse in Illinois! In 2017, Illinois passed HB 42464 requiring all salon professionals to receive 1-hour of training on sexual assault and domestic violence. The YWCA is providing training to help support this fight!
In Illinois, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 4 men, and 1 in 2 trans and non-binary folks will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. Salon professionals are in the unique position to recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse in their clients and co-workers and discretely refer them to supportive services.
During a training on domestic violence, attendees who have experienced domestic violence can often experience emotional distress. It is important as an employer you have a trained professional on-site who knows how to appropriately respond to your staff. If you know you have survivors of domestic violence on staff, we can also provide an on-site counselor during the training. Fees for this service will be included in your service agreement.
