They have to promote and realize safer communities. The handbook has two parts. The first part consist of the “Facilitators‘ Guide”, which contains four modules that provide a step-by-step instruction on how to facilitate the training.The second part contains the “Sourcebook”, which contains the reference materials or the required readings.
