Today sexual and intimate partner violence prevention programs are so distinguished from advocacy and intervention, prevention is its own field and movement.As prevention continues to grow and occupy its own space, a growing number of preventionists and advocates have started to ask at what point does our separation go from helping us, to potentially holding us back?" Different as we may be. we often have more in common than we realize. And it is in those commonalities that we find our through lines and our strengthFor this episode of PreventConnect, we hear from two long-time friends in the anti-violence movement. Ashleigh Klein Jimenez. who you know as the other face of PreventConnect and Giovanna Martinez, Associate Director of Domestic Violence Programs at the YWCA San Gabriel Valley. Ashleigh and Gio could not be doing more different work, but their decades-long friendship and camaraderie goes back to their first jobs in the movement,  doing local community engagement and advocacy work in southern California.We're exploring the role healing plays in primary prevention and the connections that often get lost in our movement, all through the lens of a long-lasting friendship. Resources mentioned in this episode:Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2024: Heal, Hold and CenterDVAM 2024 Instagram Live: Honoring Advocates in our LivesDVAM 2024 Linkedin Live: Creating Safe Spaces for Older Adult SurvivorsHealing: A Key Piece to Preventing Domestic Violence for Future GenerationsYWCA San Gabriel ValleyHousing and Prevention Podcast

DVAM, IPV, DVHRT, PPC, SANE – If you're not entrenched in the domestic violence movement, or if you're new to the movement, you might struggle to decode some of these acronyms. And even if you're already playing your part in the movement, the learning curve can be real! Today, as we begin a new season, in Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), we will be taking a closer look at all the language within the movement. We discuss the language used here at TCFV, common acronyms that can be found across the movement, and important terminologies for survivors to understand. We also unpack how language can be isolating, how language evolves, specific terms to be aware of that may have more than one meaning, and why asking for clarification is always okay.  This podcast explores topics of intimate partner violence, abuse, and other forms of trauma. While listening, please do so with care.

In the fight for survivor justice, for racial justice, we are asked to:Heal from violence and oppression.Hold space for survivors.Center those with the highest burden of violence.We are asked to embrace how other cultures have fostered beloved communities, to reject the systems and beliefs that do not serve us and to pause to consider what's working… and what isn't. As we close the 2023 Domestic Violence Awareness Month and look forward to this upcoming year, PreventConnect sat down with Jacqueline Miller, from the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, to talk about the importance of pausing, especially after months like DVAM, and centering in ourselves and our mission to advance racial equity and foster communities free from violence. This conversation is a bonus track from an instagram live conversation we had earlier this month. Discussion Questions to take this conversation further in your organizations and communities: In what ways does your organization or community put into action that there can't be survivor justice without racial justice? How does the staff at your organization or people in your community embody racial justice and racial equity work?What are some of the barriers that your organization or community has encountered when trying to do racial equity work?Resources mentioned in this podcast:Heal, Hold and Center PreventConnect BlogHeal, Hold and Center National Campaign PageNational Resource Center on Domestic ViolenceDomestic Violence Awareness Project2022 PreventConnect Podcast: No Survivor Justice Without Racial Justice

You'll also learn about the history of communication within our organization, how the COVID-19 pandemic altered the way in which we do things, how the mission has evolved over the years, and what Maria hopes to see in the future, plus so much more.

In this survivor story, Mimi bravely shares with us what happened in 2012 when she decided to leave her abusive boyfriend for the last and final time. She knew he was an avid gun collector, but it never occurred to her that he would actually use one against her. Survivors of domestic violence often have a difficult time seeing the escalation of danger they face while in the thick of it. After all, in between abusive episodes, they are love-bombed, given promises of change and a romanticized version of a perfect future just ahead. Except, it's all a lie. The only thing real is the cycle of power and control that will continue to dominate their life. Learn how the police talked Mimi out of getting an order of protection weeks earlier, but finally came to her aid when she had a gun pressed to her temple. The madness continues. In the episode, we mention Mimi found help and healing through the nonprofit Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence. If you're a survivor of abuse or simply suspect something's off in your relationship, consider reaching out to an advocate near you. You can find your closest domestic violence nonprofit on the DomesticShelters.org Get Help page. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

What can the leadership of black women and communities of color teach us about joy and resiliency? As we continue to bear witness to the pandemic of racial injustice, systemic oppression and political and personal attacks on our marginalized communities, joy and resiliency feel like precious resources existing between a juxtaposition of both deeply needed and difficult to find. This year, leaders in the movement to end gender-based violence, the National Resource Center for Domestic Violence, along with their partners at the Domestic Violence Awareness Project Advisory Group are centering again on their commitment to No Survivor Justice without Racial Justice for the 2022 National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and beyond.For this episode of PreventConnect, we sat down with two of the organizers for DVAM 20-22 and beyond: two fierce women of color who are leading the movement and their communities, and asked them why joy is so central to their work to end systemic oppression.We're also bringing in the voices of leaders of color across this movement. Highlighting key speakers, themes and excerpts from the 42nd annual Day of Unity, which kicked off DVAM in early October, when the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence invited survivors, advocates and leaders to share their own stories about collective liberation.They shared perspective on how communities of color have found joy through unrelenting resiliency, how they cultivate joy in their own lives and how organizations can get on board in uplifting joy and valuing their staff.Podcast Guests:Ivonne Ortiz, Director of Training and TA, NRCDV, National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, she/ellaNnenna Minimah, Owner/Lead Consultant, Mission Avisee, LLC, she/herhttps://www.instagram.com/missionavisee/Call for Unity Speakers:Jacqueline MillerSecretary January ContrerasFaranza SafiullahVivien HuelgoShawnice StratfordResources:https://www.dvawareness.org/DVAM-2022https://vawnet.org/https://www.nrcdv.org/

Another bonus, for something very important. It's National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Be aware, believer survivors, and support!

It's October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. And truly, why I do what I do, with this podcast, with all the Rock Your Mojo live events, programs and mentorship, is dedicated to the cause of ending domestic violence and sexual assault. We continue to live through the health crisis of Covid, however long before Covid showed up, we've been dealing with the epidemic of Domestic Violence. But combined with the health crisis, incidents of abuse have dramatically increased and many affected are quarantined with their abuser. Mojo might seem like a separate or ‘soft' topic when it comes to something like Domestic Violence. But hear me out, anyone like me who's experienced it knows that one of the little talked about bi-products from those experiences, is disassociation. Meaning, becoming disassociated from your own body. Which makes total sense due to the trauma. The body learned that it was an unsafe place to be. But here's the thing. Your MOJO, which is your actual life force that informs your vitality, joy, pleasure, connectedness and so much more in life, IS LOCATED IN your body. Specifically, the home of your mojo is your power center, located between your belly button and pubic bone. From the front surface of your body all the way to the back. So, you can see how tough it can be to access your mojo if you suffer from disassociation. However, with education, support, accurate mentoring and community, it can be extremely powerful and simple to reestablish the Mojo connection—and therefore, your enthusiasm for life. Which is why, all the Friday episodes this month are dedicated to conversations that support you in this way. Two other critical things this month: 1. If you need support due to domestic violence or trauma related to it, there are links below in the show notes of organizations and hotlines that you can reach out to right away. 2. If you'd like to support organizations that are doing important work and heavy lifting in these areas, there are links here AND on therealundressed website to the three organizations I personally support. VDAY, Peace Over Violence and Planned Parenthood. As always, these episodes are FOR YOU. And I invite you and encourage you to speak your truth….for when you do, it sets you free. === If you have experienced domestic violence and are in need of crisis support, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) For a list of resources and tools, visit Domestic Violence Awareness Project here: https://www.dvawareness.org/

**A word of caution--these conversations contains frank discussions of child sexual abuse and the effects of abuse.** This year, in recognition of DVAM, the Engendered Collective hosted a series of community conversations to bring greater awareness to domestic abuse and gender-based violence.  Today's conversation deals with the intersection of domestic violence and systemic sexism and child abuse. Our guests included Anita, "Annabelle," "Courtney," and Roz. Anita Gera is a protective mom from Great Britain. In 2014, Anita went to the British police to seek protection when her abusive and controlling ex-husband, an American pilot, threatened to take their children from the UK without her permission. Over the next year, through her ex-husband's use of the Hague Convention, Anita's case brought her back to the USA and resulted in a divorce and custody decision that would dramatically change the course of Anita and her children's lives. She has not been able to see her children, now thirteen and fifteen years old, since August 2015. Anita doesn't know when she will be able to see her children again as she has neither the means nor resources to enforce her parenting time with her children and she fears that doing so would put them at greater risk of harm by their father who has now ceased all contact with her. "Annabelle" is a divorced Maryland mother who shares custody of two children living with abuse and coercive control. On their weeks with their father, her children have no phone access to their mother, their friends, or 911. They live in fear of having food withheld and of abuse under the guise of corporal punishment. "Courtney" is a survivor of domestic violence, the family law courts, child protection services and bankruptcy. A judge ordered unsupervised parenting when her son was three, even though he noted that there was a “preponderance of evidence” proving the father was not able to keep him safe. When in the father's care for a few hours at a time unsupervised, Courtney's son suffered more injuries, including concussions, repeated head and face bruises, lacerations, ER visits, rashes and swelling of his genitals and a red and swollen rectum. Despite multiple medical and mental health professionals filing child protection reports for suspected abuse, and court testimony by Courtney's son's therapist of her concerns about suspected sexual and physical abuse by the father - the father's testimony of a past child sex assault, the judge recently granted the unthinkable - extended, unsupervised, overnight visits. Courtney's goal of telling her story is to help mothers feel they are not alone because the support from protective Moms has given me the ability to continue to find strength and the most effective ways to help my child in a broken system. Roz Davidson is Director of The Positive Parenting Company Ltd and a National Consultant and a Trainer in the UK implementing the "Community Groups Programme" a therapeutic program for women and children recovering from domestic abuse. It is a child-focused piece of work with the Mother supporting the child and addresses self-blame, attachment, what is abuse, emotional regulation across themed sessions delivered over 12 weeks. You can learn more about the Community Groups Programme here. During our conversation, Anita, Annabelle, Courtney, and Roz and I touched upon the following resources: The definition of a "protective mother" Examples of #abusertactics, #signsofabuse, and #upstandertips Teri's post on the cultural history of "PAS" or "Parental Alienation Syndrome" as an abuser disinformation tactic to discredit victims' legitimate claims of abuse The AFCC and its complicity with enabling the abuser narrative of "PAS" through their codification and institutionalization of this nonscience and fact-based and discredited abuser disinformation tactic Examples from listeners of coercive control The role of "male supremacists"--the gender equivalent of "white supremacists," but often mischaracterized as "MRA" or "men's rights activists" The documentary, What Doesn't Kill Me, which addresses systemic gender bias against protective moms in family court The effects of trauma on protective moms and children exposed to abuse --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

The hardest part of domestic violence for me was always the emotional and mental abuse. That stuff truly stays with you for awhile and you have to actively combat it in order to move forward into a healthier life. Domestic violence awareness month may be over, but our discussion has only begun. This show has roots to a variety of traumatic events, and mental illnesses so we will continue to discuss domestic violence throughout the series. As always, send me feedback, reach out if you need to talk, or just want to have some one on one time to get to know each other! Thank you all for listening.

Join Jaime Saunders, President and CEO of the United Way of Greater Rochester, as she brings critical awareness to the lifelong impact that trauma has on children. Hear from Dr. Elizabeth Murray, Pediatrician at Golisano Children's Hospital, and Dr. Justin Russotti, Researcher at Mt. Hope Family and TRANSFORM Research Centers, how our community can prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs, by assuring safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments.

Warm welcome to my best friend Jae (@_38jae on Instagram) as she discusses with us the red flags she noticed and immediately took action against to safely exit her relationship, what a survival mindset entails, and other important facts about domestic violence. What surviving and leaving all boils down to is, having a plan, sticking to that plan, and developing a survivor mindset. With the proper planning and thought process, you gain more tools to survive and safely exit an abusive relationship/situation. Side note: please disregard the background noise interferences we encountered

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this topic is one of the most important and overlooked aspects of domestic violence. Knowing your opponent in almost every way that you can gives you a leg up on the fight and can help you prevent the abuse from even beginning or help you safely exit the relationship. Acknowledge the red flags, and important things about your “partner” and their upbringing, this can be potentially lifesaving information.

Frances Martinez, 960th Cyberspace Wing director of psychological health, discusses domestic violence Oct. 7, 2020, with Mr. Steve Mayfield, violence prevention integrator at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. (U.S. Air Force audio by Samantha Mathison)

Join Norma Holland as she calls attention to domestic violence at the intersections of race, gender and orientation. Hear from I Geena Cruz, Chief Executive Officer of Heels of Greatness and Kesha Carter, Chief Diversity Officer for CCSI on how our community can break down the barriers to understanding violence against marginalized groups in diverse communities.

Your MOJO, which is your actual life force that informs your vitality, joy, pleasure, connectedness and so much more in life, IS LOCATED IN your body. Specifically, the home of your mojo is your power center, located between your belly button and pubic bone. From the front surface of your body all the way to the back. So, you can see how tough it can be to access your mojo if you suffer from disassociation. However, with education, support, accurate mentoring and community, it can be extremely powerful and simple to reestablish the Mojo connection—and therefore, your enthusiasm for life. Which is why, all the Friday episodes this month are dedicated to conversations that support you in this way. Two other critical things this month: 1. If you need support due to domestic violence or trauma related to it, there are links below in the show notes of organizations and hotlines that you can reach out to right away. 2. If you'd like to support organizations that are doing important work and heavy lifting in these areas, there are links here AND on therealundressed website to the three organizations I personally support. VDAY, Peace Over Violence and Planned Parenthood. As always, these episodes are FOR YOU. And I invite you and encourage you to speak your truth….for when you do, it sets you free. === If you have experienced domestic violence and are in need of crisis support, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) For a list of resources and tools, visit Domestic Violence Awareness Project here: https://www.dvawareness.org/

#103: Domestic Violence and Economics of Consent Cellar Door Skeptics delivers again with another refined episode. The duo starts by talking about the Catalonian Nationalist issue as many catalan nationalists have fled. They talk about the the uprising and look at if it is a product of revolution or if they are just being selfish. The show takes a more serious turn as they talk with Mel Rice about how she left her domestic violence situation. Her story is harrowing and worth the listen as she bares her heart to Tanner. The show closes out with a discussion with Stephanie Zvan about the economics of consent. They seek input as they discuss pay inequality amongst women and how industries can make women feel insecure with the majority of power in the hands of men. 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) #DomesticViolence #MeToo #Economics #Catalonia #PayInequality Subscribe: http://www.spreaker.com/user/cellardoorskeptics Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CellarDoorSkeptics RSS Feed: https://www.spreaker.com/user/8326690/episodes/feed iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cellar-door-skeptics/id1044088575?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Website: http://cellardoorskeptics.com Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cellar-door-skeptics Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cellardoorskeptics PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/CellarDoorSkeptics Intro Music: http://aloststateofmind.com/ ------ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/catalonias-deposed-leader-vows-to-continue-independence-fight-from-outside-spain/2017/10/31/96435d46-bdbd-11e7-9294-705f80164f6e_story.html?utm_term=.593f0fdde925 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41877858 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/does-catalonia-want-independence-spain/ ------ http://nomore.org https://www.nrcdv.org/ http://Thehotline.org http://domesticshelters.org ------ https://www.facebook.com/SDVSSN/ https://nrcdv.org/dvam/DVAM-history http://www.thehotline.org/is-this-abuse/abuse-defined/ https://qz.com/980766/the-truth-about-false-rape-accusations/ http://www.npr.org/2017/10/21/558623534/iowa-tries-a-new-domestic-violence-intervention-mindfulness ------ https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/10/harvey-weinstein-and-the-economics-of-consent/543618/ https://the-orbit.net/ https://the-orbit.net/almostdiamonds/ http://atheisttalk.libsyn.com/ http://mnatheists.org/
