This workshop will cover the 2025 National Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month campaign – Love Languages in Healthy Relationships — a campaign envisioned and led by young people.
When most people hear the terms “concussion” or “traumatic brain injury,” they often associate them with football, military service, or accidents. However, fewer are aware that brain injuries can also result from domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse, including strangulation and choking. Survivors of violence not only cope with the emotional and psychological aftermath of their experiences, but also often face acquired disabilities that profoundly affect their quality of life and their ability to access services.
Significant strides have been made in the criminal justice response to intimate partner violence (IPV). However, some unintended consequences of this progress have emerged and continue to go largely unnoticed. One such consequence involves a category of offenders—IPV victims who assault their abusers which has become an increasingly common situation that escalates an already high-risk scenario.
Join Praxis for a three-part virtual training series specifically for managers and directors of advocacy programs on how to structure advocacy organizations to enhance resiliency for survivors and prevent burnout for staff. Each session features national experts who will address the challenges facing advocacy programs and offer solutions to strengthen services for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
