Course Content

Shear Haven is an initiative of the YWCA Nashville & Middle TN, co-founded by Nashville-based salon owner and stylist Susanne Post.

Knowledge and resources to recognize the signs of domestic violence
Guidance on how to successfully navigate conversations with clients who may be in danger
Tools and resources that can help your client get to safety

I absolutely support this training!

I really appreciated this Domestic Violence training and believe it should be mandatory, especially in the beauty industry. Clients often open up about personal situations, and it’s important we know how to respond and guide them to resources. Thank you for offering this training and bringing awareness to such an important issue. I’m proud to display my certificate.
