Domestic Violence Awareness Month Interfaith Mixer!

Many survivors of domestic violence turn to faith leaders for guidance before reaching out for other forms of support. This makes it crucial for faith leaders to collaborate with specialized organizations that can offer the expert care survivors need. By partnering with these programs, faith leaders are empowered to provide informed support, ensuring that survivors receive comprehensive resources for their healing journey.

The North Texas Domestic Violence Awareness Coalition (DVAC) invites religious leaders from all faith communities to participate in an In Her Shoes activity and discussion regarding the experiences and needs of faith communities related to domestic violence.

In Her Shoes is an interactive program designed to facilitate experiential learning about domestic violence.

Agenda:

8:30am-9:00am: Registration, Breakfast

9:00am-10:30am: In Her Shoes

10:30am-12:00pm: Roundtable Discussions:

• How can faith leaders better recognize and respond to domestic violence within their congregations, and what are the key challenges in doing so?
• What role can faith communities play in partnering with domestic violence experts to ensure comprehensive support for survivors?
• What specific resources, training, or collaborations would help faith leaders more effectively support survivors of domestic violence?
