ODVN – Advocacy Skills Interactive Workshop: Developing Rapport with Survivors Through Attending Skills

Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network

Understanding the impact of trauma on victims is essential for professionals working in domestic violence, sexual assault, or human trafficking agencies. Equally important is possessing core attending skills to establish a meaningful connection with survivors. Building rapport involves using skills such as active listening, empathy, and trauma-informed communication to foster trust and provide support. Advocates can further strengthen trust by recognizing and addressing potential barriers to communication.

Join ODVN for our quarterly Advocacy Skills Workshop, which features two-hour sessions designed to refresh existing skills or introduce new ones, enhancing your confidence and effectiveness in working with survivors.

Cost: Free with a DV program, organizational, or individual membership. $20 for non-members.

Registration ends January 13th 

This training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact ODVN at training@odvn.org with any questions.
