Real Talk: Disrupt structures and patterns of abuse with just a few words – Part Two

In Real Talk Part Two, participants will take what they learned from part one and apply it to learning how to respond to disclosures of domestic abuse. Participants will learn how to empathize with the person experiencing the abuse and the nuances to what they need for support, learn what supportive responses and questions can be helpful in personal and professional settings. Participants will be able to practice different responses and learn how to refer people to supportive resources.
