Building Health Care Leadership: A Systems Advocacy Approach to Addressing Domestic Violence in the Health Care System
December 3, 2010, 11am-12:30PM PST
Here is a free opportunity for family advocates to learn the basic elements of working collaboratively with health care systems to establish an institutionalized response to domestic violence provided by the Family Violence Prevention Fund.
The overarching goal of this webinar is to assist family advocates and health care providers to gain administrative buy-in, build leadership to sustain a response, understand the health care system’s infrastructures and how they can contribute to strengthening the response to patient’s experiencing domestic violence, setting realistic goals and objectives and evaluating progress. The webinar will also identify available materials and tools that can assist in developing a successful health care response to domestic violence.
WHEN: December 3, 2010. TIME: 11am-12:30pm PST (2pm-3:30PM EST). PRESENTERS: Nancy Durborow, Consultant, Family Violence Prevention Fund; and Susan Hadley, MPH, Founder of WomanKind. To register for this upcoming free webinar: http://endabuse.org/health/webinars.
The next training session/webinar offered by the Family Violence Prevention Fund will be held on January 18, 2011, 11am-12:30pm PST. It is entitled “Responding to Lifetime Exposure to Abuse in Home Visitation Programs”. The Family Violence Prevention Fund indicates that “presenters will use the lens of children exposed to violence—looking first at the parent's own experiences of violence—as a way to begin the discussion about their own parenting style. A focus on empathy and strength-based approaches will be laid out as a way to support parents and a way to stop intergenerational violence. New tools and model programs will be discussed with an interactive question-and-answer section to follow.”
