Meeting the Needs of Survivors Living with Mental Health Challenges

This three hour training will discuss multiple types of mental illness and the emotional, physical, and psychological impact they may have on survivors of domestic and sexual violence. We will address stereotyping and stigma that limits resource availability, and identify abusive tactics used to diminish or sabotage mental well being. Participants will be provided with tools to decrease relational and systemic re-victimization as it relates to poor mental health outcomes, and methods for person centered interventions that promote safety and autonomy.
