Session 3: Prioritizing Physical and Emotional Safety with Young Adults: What We All Need

Tuesday, March 28, 2023
3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST | 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm CST | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm MST
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm PST | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm AKST | 10:00 am – 11:00 am HST 

Description:

Young adults experiencing intimate partner violence and trauma are often met with barriers to physical and emotional safety when seeking support. Providers often struggle to discuss, understand, and accommodate each survivor’s unique cultural, generational, and communal perspectives and needs. Structural oppression in many forms—including but limited to racism, sexism, ageism, transphobia, and marginalization due to spirituality—impacts welcoming and belonging. The disconnections between service setting expectations and the variety of ways that survivors present has led to survivors exiting services. This webinar offers an accessible, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed (ACRTI) approach for understanding the impacts of trauma on young adults and creating healing-centered environments that are intentionally inclusive and supports that are consistently survivor-driven.

This webinar will consider the impacts of experiencing domestic violence and trauma on infancy and early childhood. Incorporating an accessible, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed (ACRTI) approach, together we will explore strategies to strengthen emotional safety, support healing, and facilitate connection by keeping both children’s needs and survivor’s needs in mind. This framework facilitates working with survivors who parent and their children within the context of their culture and caregiving.
