SUMMARY:OVWA Quarterly Member Training: Trauma\, ACES\, PACES\, & the Resiliency of Survivors
DESCRIPTION:Please join OVWA’s Wendy Ricks Hoff\, BA\, RA\, CA\, TRCC\, Program Director\, and Sonia Ferencik\, LISW-S\, RA\, 200-CYT\, Youth Advocacy & Trauma Informed Services Coordinator\, ODVN\, to take a deeper dive into trauma and resiliency. This training will explore how service providers can center the strengths of youth and adult survivors\, while also validating their lived experiences of trauma and adversity. PACES (Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences) research has guided programs and communities to change their service design for better outcomes by recognizing the whole journey of an individual. Participants will learn how the groundbreaking research that lead to the ACES questionnaire changed the landscape of our understanding of trauma\, and discuss how incorporating the newer research findings of PACES can influence trauma-responsive advocacy skills. Participants will examine how to create necessary changes that enhance interactions with survivors through the creation of policies and procedures\, staff training\, direct service\, and resources and referrals. \nIf you require accommodations to attend this training\, please email us at info@ovwa.org no later than one week prior to the training. \nThis training is preapproved for CEU’s from OAN\, NACP\, and the State of Ohio CSWMFT Board. \n \n

SUMMARY:ODVN - Intersections of Partner-Inflicted Brain Injury\, Oppression\, and Racism: Supporting Survivors of Color
DESCRIPTION:  \nHosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nIntersections of Partner-Inflicted Brain Injury\, Oppression\, and Racism: Supporting Survivors of Color \nPlease join ODVN for this free\, virtual training. \n\n\nSurvivors of color have systemic barriers to accessing all types of services and are disproportionally impacted by challenges with access to housing\, employment\, social services\, and other social determinants of health. As awareness is raised on brain injury as an unrecognized and unaddressed consequence of domestic violence\, identifying and addressing those barriers while developing culturally responsive approaches for all survivors is of paramount importance. \nThis training will bring together ODVN’s Rachel Ramirez\, Founder of the Center of Partner-Inflicted Brain Injury\, and Nneka MacGregor\, Executive Director of WomenatthecentrE in Toronto\, Canada\, as well as a panel of diverse experts to better understand the long-term impacts of concussion\, traumatic brain injury\, and strangulation. Speakers will discuss the unique characteristics of brain injury from violence and address the challenges and opportunities to support survivors of color using the CARE model (Connect\, Acknowledge\, Respond\, Evaluate)\, a brain injury aware\, trauma-informed\, and survivor-directed framework developed by ODVN and The Ohio State University. 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.
