First Responder Training by The Gabby Petito Foundation

This November, The Hiding Place + The Pickens Police Department are honored to welcome the Gabby Petito Foundation to Pickens for a powerful and impactful training created specifically for those who are often the first to respond to domestic violence cases.
Law enforcement. Fire. EMS. First responders. Service Providers.
This FREE training is designed and presented by Jim Schmidt, one of the founders of The Gabby Petito Foundation and Gabby’s stepfather. The training equips first responders with essential knowledge and skills to effectively respond to domestic violence incidents.
The moments you step into matter. What happens in those first few minutes can change the entire trajectory of a survivor's story. This is an opportunity to learn directly from the Gabby Petito Foundation, strengthen our community's response to domestic violence, and better equip and support the people standing on the front lines.
📍 The Mill Church | 158 Woodrow St. Pickens, SC
📅 November 12, 2026 | 9am-1pm with a Networking Meet + Greet to follow to connect with Jim + Nichole Schmidt, Tara Petito + other community first responders
🤝 Hosted in partnership with The Hiding Place + The Pickens Police Department + The Stillwater Group
Space is limited. Registration is required by November 4th: https://forms.gle/LyzmRonjDji2FLJY9
