Wednesdays are for Community Training!! 🥳 💕

Our experiences shape us, but understanding them can help us change what comes next.

How are adverse childhood experiences connected to domestic violence? And how do trauma, systemic inequities, and protective factors shape the answer?

Join DVPN for a virtual session exploring the ACEs study, where we'll dive deeper into the connection to adult health outcomes and domestic violence as well as best approaches to addressing childhood trauma through prevention.

Join the convo!! Register on Zoom at https://tr.ee/aces-and-dv-event :)

DVAM VOICES: Amanda Willis

This , we’re honoring the voices of advocates and survivors in our community who exemplify how hope can emerge through healing.

As a survivor of domestic violence, Amanda Willis knows firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate life after abuse, and how important it is to have safe people and places to turn to along the way. For Amanda, healing begins with self-awareness.

In her conversation with DVPN, Amanda shares what healing means to her, what she wishes more people understood about domestic violence, how communities can support survivors, and the message she wants anyone experiencing abuse to hear:

“There is help for you. Do not stay silent. Open your mouth, reach out.”

Read Amanda’s full story and conversation on the new DVPN blog 💓: www.dvpnindy.org/blog

We’re excited to share that DVPN has received a $25,000 grant from the Indianapolis Foundation to support our youth work in the community. This support will help us continue providing The Change Project and Youth Network for young people in Indianapolis and in Central Indiana.

Thank you to the Indianapolis Foundation for investing in this work and in Indianapolis! 🩵

This is...
..a very harmful MYTH!!

Deciding to leave an abusive relationship is an incredibly complex, high-risk process. On average, a victim leaves a perpetrator seven times before being able to stay away for good.

In fact, the most dangerous time is actually AFTER a victim decides to leave. Studies show that at the time of leaving, the risk of severe violence or homicide spikes significantly.
