Changing the Narrative Presenter Submission

Please include details below for your presentation/workshop for the Changing the Narrative Domestic Violence Conference. As a reminder here are the descriptions of each day's themes. The conference sessions will begin at 8:30AM and will conclude by 5:00 PM. Lunch will be provided each day for those registered and presenters.
Day one:

Objective – Recognize the root causes of trauma.

Throughout the first day of the Summit, stakeholders, community-based organizations, and community residents will learn:

1) What trauma is – and what it is not

2) Trauma’s effects on brain and body

3) How certain behaviors are used to manage overwhelming feelings connected to trauma. Participants will gain the knowledge needed to move from treating the side effects to healing the root causes, which can lead to collective healing.

Creating Resiliency

Objective – Design intentional practices that lead to resiliency.

Developing resiliency to toxic environmental factors prevents trauma reactions for future generations and normalizes collective healing as a daily practice. Through healing sessions, both traditional and non-traditional, will give access to community-based organizations that are already providing the space for healing, thus breaking the mold on what is “normal” and creating the network to empower survivors to become thrivers!

Moving Forward with Strength and Self-Determination

Objective – Set a course of action for community healing.

An in-depth knowledge of trauma, combined with practices designed to create resiliency, prepares us to collectively design an action plan that promotes community healing. Day Three will highlight Asset Based Community Development and normalize expectations that the community can move forward with strength and self-determination.
Day Two:

Impact and Partnership in the Field of Health and DV

Objective - Creating opportunities to foster relationships, engage in reflection, and advance collective strategies. Offering programming that leaves participants feeling inspired, connected, challenged,

renewed, and activated.
