It is a statistical likelihood that someone you know has been impacted by interpersonal violence, which includes sexual assault and harassment, dating and domestic violence, and stalking. This is an unfortunate and difficult reality, especially when violence touches the people we care about. In all of our roles in life, we really want to do and say the right things if a survivor discloses their story to us. And, without training, it can be hard to know what those things are.

In this session, Victoria will talk about the ways trauma impacts people, how we can develop a trauma-informed approach, and the B.E.S.T. ways to support survivors. She will also incorporate survivor stories into the session to ensure attendees don't lose sight of the human impact of violence, and to allow those impacted to lend their voices to our shared space.

This session will include lecture, small group work, and digital survivor stories.
