Domestic Violence Awareness

One-Hour Webinar

In this webinar, you’ll gain foundational knowledge about what constitutes domestic violence, explore the dynamics of abusive relationships and discover effective strategies to support survivors.

Many victims/survivors of domestic violence do not recognize their experiences as abuse. Similarly, those who receive disclosures often do not identify them as instances of domestic violence. This combination leads to missed opportunities for intervention and support. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clearer perspective on how to identify and respond to domestic violence, bridging this critical gap.

Ideal for educators, social workers, law enforcement, healthcare providers and anyone interested in addressing domestic violence, this webinar will provide practical tools and insights to identify, understand and respond to domestic violence. Leave this session equipped with essential knowledge and resources to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by domestic violence.
