Description of Training:
DCJS is pleased to announce that registration is now open for “Strengthening the Response: Community Collaborations at the Intersections.” The purpose of this 2-day training is to bring together advocates and community leaders to engage in peer learning and action planning to strengthen individual, community, and systemic responses for persons who have experienced gender-based violence.
The facilitator and participants will engage in critical conversations about building and leveraging meaningful relationships when working with survivors, and in communities, that have experienced multiple levels of trauma. Participants will have the opportunity to share challenges and opportunities for mobilizing traditionally marginalized communities to prevent and respond to domestic violence and other forms of gender-based violence.
Advocacy models and best practices that integrate an intersectional analysis and approach, and strategies that are grounded in safety, equity, resilience, connectedness, hope, and healing will all be introduced. Applying this intersectional approach to advocacy work allows intentionality on how individuals think about and view access, power, equity, and success.
As a result of this gathering, participants will be better equipped to create interventions and programs that are welcoming, inclusive, and attuned to the range of individuals’ lived experiences and identities, and appropriate for the families they serve.
