Summary of Presentation:
Perhaps you have had a student or client disclose abuse to you, or you have suspected abuse may be happening to someone you teach or work with. This virtual workshop on domestic abuse aims to bring awareness and add further tools to your professional toolkit.  The goal is to guide you in compassionate, patient conversations with any individual you may be in contact with who may not know who to reach out to but is suffering in the silence of domestic abuse. There will be Breakout Rooms providing the opportunity to discuss Case Studies as well as a time for Q&A at the end of the presentation.

This training will help you to:

1. Recognize some of the signs of domestic abuse or Gender Based Violence
2. Learn how to respond to these signs or disclosures from clients or students
3. Learn where to refer clients/students for support
4. Learn about boundaries and responsibilities
