THE FOUNDING COllaborative Community of Trainers
​
Our relationship with a community of collaborative trainers is what truly makes DM (10 Strong) unique, in that each collaborative trainer has the ability to lead conversations with their own respective organizations. Each of them have extensive knowledge and expertise in various forms of violence, some of which have more than one focus area. If you'd like to make contact with them directly, please feel free to do so. You may also contact Difference Makers (10 Strong) to reach them and we'll gladly make the connection. We are all here to assist you and your community. One mission, changing culture - stronger together!
