~ Thank You to Easterseals Southern California for Sponsoring This Free Webinar!
Thursday, October 26 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
WHAT WE WILL COVER
Relationship violence can happen to anyone—often cycling through generations as a destructive, repeating pattern that contributes to toxic environments in homes, the workplace, and communities. We believe each person can play a role in breaking this cycle by recognizing relationship violence and taking action to save a life. Join us as we discuss relationship violence, the signs, and how you can help empower individuals to live free from fear.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
· Understand relationship violence and its prevalence.
· Learn about the warning signs and how to respond.
· Understand the resources and strategies available.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
41% of women and 26% of men will experience some sort of relationship violence within their lifetime. It is prevalent across all demographics, though often hidden from the outside world. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, CAADS has teamed up with Human Options, an Orange County-based non-profit dedicated to education, advocacy, and ensuring safe shelter for victims of domestic abuse. Domestic or relationship violence is often hidden from family, friends, and co-workers. Anyone and everyone will benefit from this training.
