Cosmetology and Esthetics Students Receive Domestic Violence Awareness Training Through CUT IT OUT Program
Students in Raritan Valley Community College’s Cosmetology and Esthetics programs learned about the signs of domestic abuse and violence on October 1 as part of the CUT IT OUT program. The students were trained in the program by Prevention Specialist Myrna Milan of Safe in Hunterdon.
CUT IT OUT: The Beauty Community Against Domestic Abuse is dedicated to mobilizing salon professionals and others to fight the epidemic of domestic abuse in communities across the U.S. The program builds awareness and trains salon professionals to recognize warning signs and safely refer clients, colleagues, friends and family to local resources. Salon professionals are in a unique position to recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse in their clients and co-workers and often spot signs of physical abuse that others may never see.
RVCC’s next daytime Cosmetology program will be held January 30, 2019-November 13, 2019. A daytime Esthetics program will be held January 31, 2019-July 22, 2019. Financial aid and industry scholarships are available for those who qualify.
