How to Get Started with HWC in My Locality

The first step to bringing Handle With Care to your area is to contact DCJS, Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety at HandleWithCare@dcjs.virginia.gov or by phone at (804)997-1658. You can also contact our coordinator directly at betsy.bell@dcjs.virginia.gov.

We will provide you with a step-by-step guide, help you identify stakeholders you may want to include in the process, and schedule your required training. All materials and training are provided free of charge.
We are excited you are interested in the Handle With Care program!
