SUMMARY:In Her Shoes
DESCRIPTION:Why does someone stay in an abusive relationship? Why might a s
 urvivor return to an abusive partner\, recant a statement\, or choose not 
 to participate in prosecution? The answers are rarely simple—and often i
 nvolve impossible choices shaped by fear\, coercive control\, financial de
 pendence\, children\, housing\, isolation\, and system involvement. This t
 wo-hour\, interactive training provides participants with a foundational u
 nderstanding of domestic violence before placing them directly into the co
 mplex realities survivors face. The session begins with an overview of dom
 estic violence\, including the dynamics of power and control\, coercive co
 ntrol\, lethality indicators\, and the complex factors that influence surv
 ivor decision-making. Participants will then engage in In Their Shoes: Wh
 at Would You Choose?\, an immersive\, scenario-based activity that places 
 them in the lives of individuals experiencing domestic violence. As they n
 avigate realistic situations and make difficult decisions\, participants w
 ill experience firsthand how limited options\, systemic barriers\, and saf
 ety concerns can shape survivor choices.\n\nLunch will be provided promptl
 y at 11:00 AM and the interactive exercise and training content begins at 
 11:30. \n\nParticipants who are present from 11:30 - 1:30 will be eligibl
 e for 2 POST\, FVIP\, and Advocate credit hours.
