In partnership with the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ILCADV), ODVN is hosting a virtual training opportunity for seasoned shelter advocates. In this advanced training for shelter programs, participants will deepen their understanding of trauma-informed best practices when serving survivors in residential settings. Topics will include survivor-centered advocacy, creating trauma-informed physical spaces, expanding access to underserved survivors, and the long-term impacts of vicarious trauma. Participants will hear a keynote presentation from Vickie Smith, CEO of ILCADV, as she draws from her decades of work as a pioneer in the domestic violence field, as well as a panel of Executive Directors of several Ohio domestic violence shelters on practical strategies to advance our advocacy with survivors.
This training is designed for seasoned shelter advocates and will address 201-level topics.
