Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and/or sexual harassment (DVSASSH) have experienced trauma–oftentimes multiple types of trauma including economic abuse and Adverse Childhood Experiences. This webinar will help participants understand trauma symptoms and how trauma may affect participants’ success in education, workforce development, and victim/survivor support programs. Webinar participants will learn about trauma-informed approaches, principles, and practices. This will be a highly interactive webinar, with opportunities to work in smaller groups to explore scenarios and practice concrete examples.
