SUMMARY:ODVN - Youth Advocacy Caucus: Strengthening Support for Parents and Children: Key Considerations in Post-Separation Parenting and Visitation
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network\nThe May Youth Advocacy Caucus brings together two ODVN programs—the Legal Assistance Program and Youth Advocacy Initiatives—to emphasize the importance of family-centered awareness and services within domestic violence (DV) programs. \nToo often\, DV programs focus primarily on adult survivors during court proceedings and safety planning\, while children and teens become an afterthought—particularly when considering how visitation impacts their well-being. \nThis caucus encourages advocates to intentionally address the effects of visitation on children and family dynamics\, and to confidently engage parents in conversations about those impacts. There should be no gap in services. We must advance a family-centered understanding that supports both the protective parent and the children navigating life between households. \nDesigned to equip domestic violence advocates with practical insight\, this caucus will explore how abuse dynamics can continue through custody and visitation arrangements\, identify ongoing safety concerns\, and strengthen survivor-centered\, trauma-informed advocacy strategies for the entire family. \nRegistration ends April 30th. \nThis event is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact SoniaF@odvn.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:ODVN - "Connected in Care" Advocate's Quarterly Peer Support: A Conversation about Storyholding vs. Storycarrying
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network\nThis quarterly peer support session invites advocates into a reflective and restorative conversation about the difference between storyholding and storycarrying in our work with survivors.

This session strengthens boundaries\, nurtures collective care practices\, and supports sustainable advocacy that centers both survivor dignity and advocate well-being. \nRegistration ends April 14th. \nThis event is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Seeing Beyond the Behavior: A Trauma-Informed Look at Youth Exposed to a Battering Partner/Parent
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network\nBehaviors are messages that help adults determine appropriate ways to support children. Experiences of trauma affect children and teens in the present moment\, shaping how they think\, feel\, and respond. This session challenges the outdated belief that certain behaviors are merely attention-seeking or manipulative\, and equips advocates with practical\, trauma-informed strategies to reduce secondary victimization and better support child and teen survivors. \nAdvocates will explore how exposure to domestic violence can create toxic stress\, trauma\, grief\, and fear\, and how batterers impact both children and adult victims. Advocates will gain a foundational understanding of how children may respond cognitively\, developmentally\, and emotionally to living with a batterer as a parent\, and how environments can sometimes exacerbate stress. Trauma-informed resources for children and adult victims will be shared to support families holistically. \nCost: Free for members (DV member program\, Organizational\, Individual); $25 for non-members \nRegistration ends March 26th  \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact ODVN at training@odvn.org with any questions. \n \n

SUMMARY:ODVN - Starting Anew: Strategies and Support for Survivors Facing Bankruptcy
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network\nAdvocates often support survivors who are facing overwhelming debt\, housing instability\, or damaged credit\, often alongside family law cases. Bankruptcy may be one possible tool\, but it can feel confusing or intimidating\, especially when economic abuse and survivor safety are part of the picture. This legal caucus will provide advocates with a basic overview of bankruptcy\, how it may intersect with family law cases\, and when a referral to a bankruptcy attorney may be helpful. The focus will be on strengthening advocate understanding and collaboration with attorneys while continuing to provide survivor-centered\, safety-informed support. \nODVN Legal Caucus meetings are free and open to everyone. \nThis meeting is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Invisible Injuries: Traumatic Brain Injury\, Strangulation and Domestic Violence
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network\nDomestic violence often involves blows to the head\, neck\, or face and strangulation—yet the resulting brain injuries are still frequently overlooked and untreated. This leads to significant gaps: survivors may struggle with unrecognized injuries\, professionals may miss opportunities to offer effective support\, and systems may not account for the impact of trauma and domestic violence. This webinar will share findings from Ohio’s groundbreaking research on partner-inflicted brain injury\, including data from domestic violence programs and police calls. We will define partner-inflicted brain injury\, review the realities of concussion and strangulation\, outline common signs and symptoms\, and introduce CARE (Connect\, Acknowledge\, Respond\, Evaluate)\, an evidence-based framework for supporting survivors.  \nCost: Free for all \nRegistration ends March 13th  \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Supporting Safety\, Agency\, and Justice for Victims of Image-Based Sexual Abuse and AI-Generated Abuse Material
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network\nWhile the advances and mainstream use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into every day life may be new\, the use of technology to abuse and cause harm is not.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Meeting Survivors at the Intersections of Domestic Violence & Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network\nThis presentation is designed to equip victim advocates with a deeper understanding of the critical overlap between domestic violence and human trafficking. Although often categorized separately\, these forms of abuse frequently coexist\, creating complex safety and support needs for survivors. We will explore how traffickers leverage tactics commonly seen in intimate partner violence—such as isolation\, economic control\, emotional manipulation\, and threats—to recruit\, maintain control\, and prevent disclosure. Advocates will learn practical strategies for recognizing crossover red flags\, conducting trauma-informed screenings\, and responding safely when trafficking may be present in a domestic violence case. The session also addresses barriers that prevent survivors from seeking help\, including fear of retaliation\, legal concerns\, system mistrust\, and cultural dynamics. Participants will leave with tools to strengthen coordinated community responses\, enhance survivor autonomy\, and provide holistic\, empowerment-based support for individuals experiencing both domestic violence and human trafficking. \nCost: Free for members (DV member program\, Organizational\, Individual); $20 for non-members \nRegistration ends January 16th \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact ODVN at training@odvn.org with any questions. \n \n  \n
