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 This session challenges the outdated belief that certain behaviors are merely attention-seeking or manipulative\, and equips advocates with practical\, trauma-informed strategies to reduce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:OVWA Webinar Wednesday: Aligning Narratives: Ethical Storytelling for Education and Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling is a powerful tool in victim advocacy\, shaping how communities learn\, engage\, and understand survivors’ experiences. This webinar invites participants to reflect on the stories they use in education\, outreach\, prevention\, advocacy\, and fundraising\, and to consider how those narratives can either support all survivors or unintentionally cause harm. Together\, we’ll explore the pedagogical strengths of storytelling\, examine common ethical challenges in survivor‑centered narratives\, and introduce a practical strategy for aligning storytelling practices with the field’s core values and ethical standards. Participants will be able to identify effective uses of storytelling in advocacy\, describe key ethical issues related to survivor narratives\, and align their own storytelling approaches with the ethical standards and values that guide the field. \nPresenter(s): Elliott Fullenkamp\, Manager of Training & Technical Assistance\, OAESV \n  \n\nThis training is applicable for CEUs from OAN\, NACP\, and preapproved for counselors\, social workers\, and marriage & family therapists through the State of Ohio CSWMFT Board. If you need accommodations to attend this training\, please email us at info@ovwa.org at least one week before the webinar date.
