Description of Training:
DCJS is pleased to announce that registration is now open for “DCJS Victims Services Virtual Roundtable Discussion - Loss, Healing, and Resilience: Surviving and Thriving in the Midst of a Pandemic.” The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has left many of us struggling with uncertainty, fear, and unexpected losses; we’ve lost loved ones, financial stability, social connections, and daily routines that helped us manage difficult and challenging times. Many of us are also experiencing hopelessness and sadness regarding the ongoing violence in our communities. Many of us are anxious about life and death issues as our country gets ready to end shelter-in-place orders. How can we survive and thrive in the midst of so much chaos, fear, and uncertainty?
Join us for a presentation and conversations about the impact of trauma, strategies for managing stress, and ways to move forward during and after COVID-19. Presenters will focus on building effective and sustainable self-care practices, and offer unique strategies for restoring peace, joy, hope and healing in participants’ lives and communities.
This discussion will be facilitated by Casey Keene, Director of Programs and Prevention at the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, and Arlene Vassell, Vice President of Programs, Prevention, and Social Change at the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence.
Date & Time of Training: September 9th - 9:00 am to 12:00 pm
