Presented in Partnership:

Online Training for Local Businesses

In partnership with Homeless Training, River City Company, Downtown Chattanooga Alliance, Chattanooga Tourism Company and Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce, will offer a new online empathy-based training program to local businesses and their employees. 

The online training video series provides 10 five-minute videos with proven methods for de-escalating situations with individuals struggling with homelessness, mental illness, substance abuse, etc. These trainings were created for McDonalds by Ryan Dowd, an expert in dealing with vulnerable populations. To support small businesses (50 employees and under), a grant program has been established to partially cover the cost for the annual membership fee. In addition to the grant program, regardless of business size, a 50% discount will be provided to Chattanooga businesses through a discount code. 

The informational webinars will provide a preview of the online videos along with information on the grant program and discount code. As proprietary information will be shared during the webinar, unfortunately a recording of the webinar can not be provided. If you are unable to attend one of the webinars, please contact dawn@rivercitycompany.com for more information.
