Workshop Information
This is not a look-and-learn; this is an experience based upon participation and vulnerability while building competence, self-awareness, empathy and courage in those who are first responders of the pandemic that is domestic violence. This is MORE than a staff development tick-box exercise.
This is our response when people ask:
HOW we stay enthusiastic about this work.
HOW we reach those that many cannot.
HOW we have built our global movement but still be relevant to our grassroots community.
Hosted by Matt Brown
