This popular core training will provide foundational skills for advocates serving domestic violence survivors and their children. You'll learn about: 

  • the history of the domestic violence movement 

  • how systemic racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination create barriers to serving marginalized groups 

  • how diversity, equity, equality, and implicit bias affect the services you provide

  • ways to become more culturally responsive and inclusive

  • the impact of batterers on family dynamics including life-generated and abuser-generated barriers

  • supporting and allying with parents who are surivivors

  • the importance of a trauma-informed lens, survivor-defined advocacy, safety-planning and strategies for risk managment

  • danger and lethality assessments, legal remedies and the pros and cons of protection orders

  • Ohio's Crime Victim Compensation Program

Come with a desire to explore difficult topics, share with others, and leave with new knowledge to work effectively with survivors and children experiencing domestic violence.
