Tuesday, May 5, 2020 — Family ACEs (aka domestic violence)
This pandemic gives us an opportunity to shift the focus from the traditional narrative of a violent man, a woman victim, and an abused child to…something else that looks at the family as a whole, at interventions that are inclusive, that are gentle, that nurture and heal, and that have astonishing results.
What does that look like? Are there different interventions for different stages of family troubles? What’s the language we use? Are there things that can be done now by friends, neighbors, loved ones to help troubled families during this time that people are shut in? And what would a system of caring look like that we and others in this movement can put together as the pandemic begins to pass?
Join James Encinas, social entrepreneur and creator of a batterers intervention program for men and women; Judy Knapp, director of PreventionWORKS in El Dorado County, CA; Nada Yorke, Yorke Consulting in Sequim, WA, who created a batterers intervention program used in several states; and me for a Better Normal community discussion on Tuesday, May 5, to begin laying the groundwork on how to move from managing problems to managing solutions.
May 5, 2020 — (12 pm PT/ 1 pm MT/ 2pm CT/ 3 pm ET)
