SUMMARY:ODVN - Child Witnesses: The Impact of Domestic Violence
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nChild Witnesses: The Impact of Domestic Violence\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChildren and teenagers exposed to domestic violence have many worries\, fears\, and hopes in their daily lives. In 2022\, Ohio’s domestic violence programs reported that nearly 5\,000 children were residing in their shelters and in hotels with their parents. These are the children known to domestic violence programs\, yet there are many more living behind closed doors\, witnessing domestic violence and navigating mandated visitation.  Advocates working in shelters\, community outreach\, prevention\, schools\, and other settings must recognize the needs of child witnesses and their parents to support them as they navigate through their days and show their resilience. \nJoin Sonia Ferencik as she presents on how exposure to a parent/partner who abuses creates an environment of chronic stress and unpredictability. This training will deepen your knowledge\, enhance your engagement skills\, and increase trauma-responsive strategies to support children and teenagers. Content will include an overview of child development\, trauma reactions\, and the complexities of working with children and teenagers using a mind-body trauma-responsive approach.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: Sonia Ferencik\, LISW-S\, RA\, 200-hr CYT\, Youth Advocacy and Trauma Informed Services Coordinator\, ODVN \nCost: Free for ODVN Members (ODVN Member Program or Individual/Organizational Membership); $25 for Non-ODVN Members. \nDeadline to register: April 11\, 2024. \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network.

WomenatthecentrE is an organization that centers the voices of women-identified survivors of gendered violence.    \nThis training is designed for advocates at all skill levels.  \nTrainers: Rachel Ramirez\, LISW-S\, RA\, Director of Health and Disability Programs and Founder of the Center on Partner-Inflicted Brain Injury\, ODVN; Nneka MacGregor\, Executive Director\, WomenatthecentrE \nDeadline to Register: Friday\, March 15\, 2024 \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network.
