From YWCA Pierce County in collaboration with Family Justice Center

Join us for a special In Her Shoes session tailored for legal professionals. Facilitated by Dr. Carolyn West (https://directory.tacoma.uw.edu/employee/carwest) from University of Washington Tacoma, this immersive experience offers a unique opportunity to better understand the complex experiences of domestic violence survivors and the barriers they often encounter when seeking safety and justice. In Her Shoes (https://wscadv.org/training-kits/in-her-shoes/) was developed by Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault as an interactive simulation to learn more about these dynamics, how to support survivors and encourage us to reexamine how we show up for survivors in our community. Please join us for this free event on Thursday October 15th from 5-7pm at the YWCA Pierce County. You can Register HERE (https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=QSu7OEMedkGzXg5oxii7guqMHpb_TYlIhnRXJa-onhZUMFRNTU05WTlBMDdNRENUT0dQVkxSSFFDUy4u)

Sincerely,
Abi McLane, Chief Executive Officer, YWCA Pierce County and Nadia Van Atter, Director, Crystal Judson Family Justice Center

Time to brush up on your gamerspeak and terms before the bar convention:
Aggro – A shortened version of ‘aggression’ or ‘aggravation’, to describe unwanted attention from the enemy during gameplay.
Git gud – Gamer speak for ‘get good’ and refers to getting better at a game or challenge.
HP – The abbreviation for ‘hit points’ which represent the amount of damage a character can take without dying or getting knocked out.

And with this list, you can confidently use IYKYK – Used widely across social media as well as in the gaming world. It means ‘if you know you know’ and often implies there’s an inside joke.

Familiarize yourself with commonly used gamer slang words, video game terms and abbreviations in our jargon-busting guide.
