The Internal Struggle: Finding Compassion for Abusers While Supporting Survivor-Centered Advocacy
Wednesday October 23, 2024 10:30am - 11:45am EDT
South Conference
Feedback Survey
Abuse interventionists are advocates for survivors of domestic violence. Working with perpetrators of abuse takes a special set of skills aimed at balancing compassion for people who have caused harm as well as simultaneously supporting the survivor experience.  This workshop uses reflection-based writing, lecture, and discussion to examine these concepts. As practitioners, you will analyze beliefs that will help you balance accountability, compassion, or even empathy when working with any individual who has caused harm to others. Attendees will also think critically about their engagement in survivor centered domestic violence advocacy/intervention.
