2/25/2021 ( Rescheduled ) - Resilience Despite Adversity: Unpacking the Links Between ACEs and Domestic Violence to Support Victim Recovery
Domestic violence is one of the most common, and yet challenging, issues that victim service providers encounter. Intertwined and compounded with domestic violence is the fact that many domestic violence survivors also experience other traumas and adversities. Thus, poly-victimization presents unique challenges to how we conceptualize, assess, and treat victims. This track provides information and tools to understand, assess, and treat problems related to ACEs, resilience, and domestic violence from a trauma-and-resiliency informed framework.
Learning Objectives - Participants will be able to:
- Develop an awareness of how domestic violence connects with other forms of ACEs
- Describe the concept of poly-victimization
- Connect the ideas of poly-victimization to the behavioral health needs of domestic violence survivors.
- Identify tools and strategies to understand, assess, and treat these compounding issues using a trauma-informed lens.
