Improving Responses to Survivors: Examining the Intersections Between Oppression, ‘isms, and Violence
AUDIENCE: Community-based victim advocates, system-based victim advocates, law enforcement, prosecutors, court personnel, healthcare professionals (APRN, RN, LPN), physicians, SANE/SAFEs, mental health professionals, and other professionals who work with victims of sexual assault or domestic violence.
Sponsored by:
The #metoo movement has created a national awareness about sexual and domestic violence. In addition, this movement has led to a call for justice for survivors and for perpetrator accountability. To hold perpetrators accountable and receive justice for survivors, there needs to be a critical examination of the root causes of sexual and domestic violence. By using the self-reflection lens, during this two-day training, participants will fully examine the history of the violence against women movement and participate in a critical analysis of their understanding of oppression. At the conclusion of this training, participants will be better prepared to understand and use the anti-oppression framework to engage survivors and provide meaningful, holistic services.
