Florida Partnership to End Domestic Violence

Are you looking to enhance your self-care practices in the new year? Join us for part one of our four-part series entitled, "The Resilient Advocate." We will be offering the same training on two different dates to accommodate scheduling conflicts. The Resilient Advocate series explores secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout to support advocates’ well-being and resilience. The series will incorporate creative modalities including poetry and art into strategies for grounding, self-care, support systems, and a resilience plan. Pens, paper, colored pencils, crayons, markers or any materials are recommended for use during the workshop. Registration for the entire series is not required. You can register separately for any sessions you would like to attend.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, an acknowledgement that gender-based violence is a global human rights issue. Today also marks the beginning of "16 Days of Activism" from now through International Human Rights Day on December 10. Gender-based violence is deeply connected to climate, land, reproductive justice, and other human rights issues. Over the next 16 days and beyond, we envision a world where people of all genders can exercise the fullness of their human rights freely, without threat of violence and oppression.

Join us on December 6th from 2-3:30pm for a discussion on Emerging Trends in Prevention! To attend, register here: https://lnkd.in/gUDQNKS9

Congratulations to the Founder and CEO of Corcoran Partners, Michael Corcoran, who was recently featured in Florida Trend's Florida 500 as one of Florida's most influential business leaders. Mike is a dear friend of FPEDV, with a passionate, authentic, and fierce commitment to community, and an unbelievable example of servant leadership. FPEDV is so grateful to stand beside our friend Mike, in celebration of this deserved recognition. In addition to being one of Florida's most influential business leaders, we here at FPEDV have seen firsthand that Mike is a powerful agent of change, often donating without recognition and working quietly to support organizations that serve Floridians. Mike and his family have a heart to serve and demonstrate that priority every single day. A warm congratulations to one of the very best, not just in Florida, but in our great country - Michael Corcoran.

#ElectionDay is just a few weeks away! If you're a domestic violence survivor, or an advocate working with survivors, it's never too early to start thinking about a safety plan for casting a ballot. Keep reading: https://bit.ly/46Zg0cI [Image description: Seven graphics with text reading: "Safe voting tips for domestic violence survivors. Vote when your abuser is busy. If you're worried about running into your abuser at your polling place, think about their schedule and try to pick a time when you think they may be busy. Ask a friend to support you. Even if your friend can't be with you in-person, they can stay in touch via text while you vote. Know a neighbor who's voting? See if they're willing to head to the polls together. Research so you can vote quickly. Planning how you're going to vote for can save you time at your polling place, especially if you have concerns about seeing your abuser while you vote. Practice self-care before and after voting. Planning a fun or relaxing activity around your vote can help minimize stress. Got a favorite grounding activity? Practice it while you wait in line. Ask a poll worker about secret voting. (Only if it’s safe for you to do so!) If you're voting with your abuser and worry they may force your vote, ask a poll worker if you can cast a secret ballot (if you feel safe doing so). Consider your vote-by-mail options. This can be especially helpful for survivors who have safety concerns about seeing an abuser at their polling place, or whose schedules don't allow them to vote on Election Day." The first graphic includes an illustration of three hands holding "vote" signs. All graphics include text reading: "NNEDV. org/SafeVoting" and the NNEDV logo, which logo consists of 66 small house shapes arranged in a large house shape, and text reading: "NNEDV National Network to End Domestic Violence."]
