SUMMARY:ODVN - Building Inclusive Programs for Male Survivors of Violence
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nA national survey from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that nearly a quarter (24 percent) of domestic violence survivors are male (National Crime Victimization Survey\, 2014). However\, the image of a domestic violence survivor is typically that of a girl or woman. Stereotyped depictions and language about domestic violence can make male survivors feel left out\, unsupported\, and disbelieved when they share their experiences. In this training\, participants will explore statistics about the impacts of domestic violence on men\, including barriers to services and the ways that gender norms can impact access and service delivery. Participants will apply trauma-informed responses to working with boys and men as victims in domestic violence services and learn strategies to promote outreach and inclusivity.   \nRegistration ends July 9th.  \nCost: Free with ODVN membership. $25 for non-members. \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact ODVN at training@odvn.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Advocacy Skills Interactive Workshop: Active Listening Techniques in Survivors Defined Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nThis advocacy skills workshop highlights active listening. Active listening is a foundational skill in advocacy when working with survivors of domestic violence. It requires attention\, empathy\, and a nonjudgmental presence. Advocates must create a safe\, supportive environment where survivors feel heard and validated. This involves not only listening to their words but also noticing non-verbal cues that may reveal deeper emotions. \nEffective advocacy goes beyond providing resources; it means empowering survivors\, respecting their autonomy\, and offering informed choices that support their healing journey. Advocates must be mindful of their own biases\, practice patience\, and approach each survivor with sensitivity to their unique experiences\, ensuring their voices are central to the process.   \nRegistration ends June 20th. \nCost: Free with a DV program\, organizational\, or individual membership. $20 for non-members. \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact ODVN at training@odvn.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Reproductive Health & Supporting Safety for Pregnant Survivors
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nJoin ODVN and the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence for this important training session\, free and open to anyone! Under the large spectrum of power and control behaviors that are discussed within the anti-violence field\, reproductive coercion isn’t discussed as frequently. Some of that may be due to our own experience or values with comprehensive sexuality education. In this training\, we will discuss some of the key components around healthy sexuality education\, discuss the various tactics people use to control their partner’s sexual health and autonomy\, and outline ways that staff can effectively screen and respond to signs of reproductive coercion or support survivors who are pregnant. \nRegistration ends May 22nd.  \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact ODVN at training@odvn.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Advocacy Skills Interactive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nAttending Skills\, Tone\, and Non-Verbals to Bolster Engagement in Voluntary Services\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn domestic violence programming\, survivor-defined advocacy and voluntary engagement are crucial to the success of serving survivors. Building trust and fostering genuine connections with survivors\, especially those who may be experiencing trauma responses\, grief\, and loss\, requires more than just words. The way advocates listen\, speak\, and present themselves can significantly impact the level of engagement and trust built. Advocates who attend this workshop will practice how to use attending skills\, tone of voice\, and non-verbal cues effectively to create a welcoming\, supportive environment that encourages survivors to participate and potentially invest in the services offered. \nThrough interactive learning\, group discussion and scenarios\, participants will (1) learn active listening techniques that demonstrate empathy\, presence\, and understanding\, helping to foster deeper connections with clients; (2) practice the power of using tone to communicate warmth\, support\, and professionalism; and (3) explore the role of non-verbal communication with body language\, facial expressions\, posture\, and eye contact when building rapport with survivors. This workshop will also review how awareness of cultural differences may influence communication styles and how to adapt approaches for genuine engagement.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost: Free for ODVN Members (ODVN Member Program or Individual/Organizational Membership); $20 for Non-ODVN Members. \nDeadline to register: February 21\, 2025 \nThis event is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network.
