Excellence in Legal Advocacy: Working with Pro Se Survivors
2023-10-04 13:00
Excellence in Legal Advocacy: Working with Pro Se Survivors
Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence (OAESV) and Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN) collaborative session on working with survivors representing themselves in the legal system (otherwise known as pro se). While there are some resources across the state, it is still an unfortunate reality in Ohio that many survivors do not or cannot access no or low-cost attorneys to assist them with their legal needs. This session will focus on best practices helping to empower pro se survivors access the legal systems and resources. This session will also discuss the unauthorized practice of law and finding the line between legal information versus legal advice. A particular emphasis will be on empathetic advocacy and uplifting access for all. Barriers to access and the challenges faced by survivors will be highlighted along with ways that everyone interacting with the legal system can support survivors. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER BY 9/20

Seasonal Training Series (Fall): Story Stewardship
2023-10-23 10:00 - 12:00
With leaves turning golden, nightfall arriving sooner, and fires being lit, autumn is the perfect time to settle down in a comfy chair with trusted company and tell stories. Storytelling can be a creative outlet for folks to find connection with one another or can help repair the disruption that can be caused by trauma. As victim service providers, we should provide survivors of sexual violence that trusted space to share their story. Join OAESV for this 3-part series on Story Stewardship.
Part 1: The Power of Storytelling – October 23, 10am-12pm

We’ll start by laying the foundation of what makes storytelling so powerful and why it holds such significance in our work. During this training, participants will gain insight into the relevance and benefits of incorporating storytelling into their work. We’ll also practice the art of personal storytelling and explore various storytelling strategies and techniques.
Part 2: Storytelling Ethics Retreat – November 20, 10am-12pm

After establishing our storytelling foundation, Part 2 of this series will take a look at how we, as victim service providers, ethically hold spaces for survivors to share their stories and only share their stories in ways that feel safe for them. We’ll learn the ethical considerations and effective approaches when faced with ethical issues. We’ll also explore essential factors to consider when embarking on narrative-focused and collaborative art-engaged work.
Part 3: How to Plan a Workshop – November 27, 10am-12pm
We’ll close our time together with a look at how local victim service providers can run storytelling workshops to help survivors find the best way to share their own stories. We’ll discover the resources and tools required to excel in story work and explore and learn about the principles and practices of participatory and co-designed planning approaches. We’ll also develop techniques to garner buy-in and investment from all involved parties, including decision makers, storytellers, and staff. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW

In violence prevention work, our ability to foster safety, connection, and healing in communities depends on how well we care for ourselves.

Through experiential mind–body activities, participants will explore practices that support regulation, presence, and sustainability, helping us prevent burnout, build protective factors, and model the wellbeing we hope to cultivate in our communities.
Training Objectives:

Learn prevention‑aligned strategies for nurturing personal resilience as a protective factor in their work.
Engage in interactive mind–body exercises that enhance regulation, connection, and collective capacity.
Explore practical tools for returning to balance and grounding during moments of stress, activation, or compassion fatigue.

All accommodations will be as requested.
