Effects, reduction of domestic violence the subject of local peace conferences [SouthernMinn.com]

 

An upcoming conference is aimed at providing information about the effects of domestic violence on children.

The Promoting Peace Conference is not just for professionals who deal with these cases and situations, says Waseca County Attorney Brenda Miller.

“I think everybody has a friend, relative or someone who has been abused,” Miller said. “(The conference) can give them a little information and help them know what resources are out there.”

This is exactly the goal of the Promoting Peace Conference, a free program dedicated to topics related to violence, with an aim of collaborating to reduce violence and foster peace. This year, the conference occurs Sept. 30 at Waseca’s Starfire Event Center. There’s a second event Sept. 29 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Owatonna.

The SAFE Counseling Program, Inc., www.SupportiveAlliance.com  operates a violence intervention program for men, women and youth, and consults on delivering trauma-informed intervention programs FOR OFFENDERS as well as treatment for victims and for witnesses (witnessing abuse is abuse and is trauma too). Contact me at Contact@SupportiveAlliancel.com, 215-750-0323 - I'd love to deliver a custom workshop for your specific audience on preventing family violence, offender intervention and on healing and building resilience. Audiences walk away empowered with useful tools to prevent violence and address adversity, and the emotional pain and wounds inflicted by it.

When we focus on prevention and public education, it is essential to acknowledge that the adult perpetrators of abuse and violence have often been found to be the grown children with ACEs wounds that are still open. A trauma-informed response to offenders does not excuse their behavior, but rather addresses it at its root. We shall begin by educating the public about big-T and small-t trauma and empowering the public with emotional management and emotional healing tools for both men and women. Learning to witness and heal our own and others’ pain is humanizing and unifying, while blaming, shaming, categorizing and threatening each other with consequences divides us and feeds our fear of each other. Trauma-informed approaches work when approaching the public on the topic of violence prevention and work when intervening with perpetrators of family, intimate partner, and gender violence.
