What you’ll learn:
• Recognizing & responding to intimate partner violence within our communities

• Ways to support survivors who turn to peers instead of law enforcement or traditional DV services
• Restorative justice practices & community care models

📍 Where: Online (Virtual via Zoom)

Together, we can build stronger networks of safety, accountability, and care. 💜
