SUMMARY:Impact of a Batterer in the Lives of Children and Teens
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis training provides an understanding of domestic violence by overviewing how the batterer as a parent uses coercive control and tactics to create harm, impacting each family member’s emotional and physical safety. In addition, these parents deprive their children of empathy and consistency while undermining the survivor’s parenting role. Awareness of the complexity of domestic violence occurs when professionals understand coercive control, trauma reactivity, and the impact of toxic stress in the lives of children and teens.  This training explores tips to ally with youth and parent survivors discovering practical strategies of communicating, reframing their traumatic experiences of domestic violence in how trauma is a body experience. The resources and handouts shared will enhance work with survivor-centered, resiliency-focused support of children, teens, and protective parents.\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\nSonia Ferencik, LISW-S, RA, works to increase awareness of how lived experiences of exposure to a batterer as a parent impacts the lives of children, teens, and their parents.
