ODVN – Advocate Be Well: Setting in Motion Your Self-Care

Schedule these 3 hours for you! Invite your peers and attend as a staff together! Decide that 2022 will be a year of comfort care and positivity amidst your work challenges!
As advocates we work in situations that place us on high-alert aware of others’ emotional and physical safety We respond in moments to a crisis danger other’s distress We answer chats and hotlines calls we advocate for change within our agency and in the community We support with empathy offering comfort to youth and adults survivors We work within systems that are causing upset to survivors We work with fewer resources and yet commit to coming back to serving people who are victimized by domestic violence every day!

At ODVN we believe you deserve time to discover pause and reflect This workshop will provide you with ideas about your resilience so that you “show up for your whole life” We will explore actions that flood the body with “calming hormones ” which can lessen the impact of vicarious trauma and stress—plan to bring paper markers a blanket chair or mat We will not only talk about approaches but we will also break out and experience them as well
