In a digital world filled with notifications, social media, the news, you are less aware of your surroundings. During those distractions, you may be a target for those seeking to do harm.

Enduring domestic violence can be incredibly challenging and distressing. Enduring abuse is never the right answer; abuse is harmful and destructive. However, when leaving isn’t an option, there are some ways to cope with the ongoing abuse while preparing for a better future.
Peace Over Violence’s Survivor Speakers Bureau, Voices Over Violence, is a group of individuals that share and discuss openly and educationally their experiences with sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and domestic violence. We often get requests from the community for survivors to speak about their experiences through presentations, panel discussions, and media interviews to educate the public about the realities of interpersonal violence. Speakers are able to address common myths surrounding violence, resources, and the healing process.

Dating can be challenging for some people, especially those who have experienced traumatic losses, betrayal, or abuse in relationships.
Most people who have experienced interpersonal trauma work hard to heal their relational wounds, improve their sense of self, and make themselves emotionally available for that right person out there. Yet some residuals of their trauma symptoms can still be there, ready to trigger a range of thoughts and behaviors from dangerous impulses to paralyzing fear.
Peace Over Violence offers this free 4-session webinar to help people prepare for dating again or improve their dating experience after interpersonal trauma. Each weekly session is 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A.
