Corporate Education Program

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that the annual cost of lost productivity due to domestic violence equals $727.8 million, with more than 7.9 million paid workdays lost each year. Employers also absorb much of the healthcare cost of domestic violence, with direct medical and mental healthcare expenses for victims totaling $4.1 billion annually.

In the interest of addressing this immense issue, Raphael House has initiated a corporate education program. If you're interested in having a Raphael House staff member come speak at your place of work, please contact Jessica Elkan at (503) 222.6507 x308 or jelkan@raphaelhouse.com.
