Participant Feedback

Very Informative!

"I found the DV training to be very valuable in helping me learn how to identify and respond to a DV survivor. I didn't know much about IPV or DV so this training was a good starting point."

Increasing our Collective Awareness about Domestic Violence

We work to empower survivors to choose pathways of support that best meet their needs and align with their safety concerns.

Part of our ability to best support and uplift survivors is by increasing our collective awareness and education about how we, allies of survivors, make sure we are mindful of what is actually supportive and what can create more harm.

Domestic violence is complex and nuanced and unique to each individual's experience. Our trainings work to dismantle myths, broaden perspectives, and ensure participants walk away feeling more resourced and more confident to support survivors in their personal and professional lives.

Barriers to Reporting DV

In advance of Pathways Forward conversation on October 23rd, this blog focuses on the barriers survivors face in reporting domestic violence to law enforcement. Key challenges include fear of retaliation, lack of trust in police, privacy concerns, mandatory arrest policies, socioeconomic factors, and insufficient resources. Understanding these barriers is essential for improving support systems and ensuring survivor safety.
