Strengths-based Support for Victims of Domestic and Sexual Abuse
Please join us! Faith Leaders for Healthy Relationships and Hope House present "Strengths-based Support for Victims of Domestic and Sexual Abuse" on May 17 at 11:30am at Trappers Turn in Wisconsin Dells. Domestic violence and sexual assault are two of the most traumatic experiences a human can endure. In the vast majority of cases, victims suffer intimately at the hands of someone they believed cared about them or loved them. Victims of this kind of violence need to be heard, empowered, understood and supported in order to begin healing and moving forward. Strengths-based support begins with the understanding of the impact of trauma on an individual or family and emphasizes survivor strengths, competencies, and adaptive capacities. It empowers and it engenders hope. To learn more about supporting survivors and their families, please join us to learn: How trauma affects a victim. What it means to provide strengths-based support. How to identify strengths in victims and their children. Tools and powerful questions you can use to empower victims. We hope you will join us for lunch and will walk away with a deeper understanding of the impact of trauma and how to support those who have experienced it. Guest speaker: Julie Fisher, Associate Director at Hope House of South Central Wisconsin. Julie previously worked for the statewide coalition End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin, is a certified professional coach, and has spent years building her active listening and strengths-based support skills.
