Hope, Light, Life | Understanding the Domestic Violence Journey

Join us for a transformative educational conference that equips business leaders and managers with essential knowledge and tools to recognize, respond to, and support employees affected by domestic violence.

This comprehensive conference breaks down the domestic violence journey into three critical stages, featuring expert speakers and interactive Q&A sessions:

• Before: Recognition and Early Intervention Hear from field leaders about identifying subtle warning signs that an employee may be experiencing domestic violence, including changes in behavior, performance patterns, and workplace dynamics that could indicate someone needs support.
• During: Creating a Supportive Workplace Environment Learn from industry experts how to develop compassionate policies and provide appropriate resources when domestic violence impacts your workforce. Our speakers will cover confidential support systems, flexible work arrangements, and connecting employees with professional help while maintaining workplace safety and productivity.
• After: Supporting Recovery and Renewal Understand what life looks like for survivors as they rebuild and heal through insights from leading advocates and professionals. Discover how to create long-term supportive environments that help employees thrive as they move forward in their journey toward hope, light, and life.

Why This Matters: Domestic violence affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men, making it likely that someone in your workplace has been or will be impacted. This conference empowers you to be part of the solution, creating safer, more supportive work environments while protecting your organization and supporting your most valuable asset—your people.

Who Should Attend: HR professionals, managers, team leaders, business owners, and anyone committed to fostering a workplace culture of safety, understanding, and support.

Engage with expert speakers, ask questions, and connect with other leaders committed to building workplaces where hope flourishes, light overcomes darkness, and every employee has the opportunity to live their fullest life.
