Seasonal Training Series (Fall): Story Stewardship
2023-10-23 10:00 - 12:00 | OH
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

Seasonal Training Series (Spring): Working With Survivors Who Use Alcohol and/or Drugs
2024-03-25 10:00 - 12:00 | OH
MEMBERS ONLY

In order to serve survivors more holistically, it’s important to understand why survivors may use drugs and/or alcohol to cope with trauma and learn Harm Reduction Principles so they can provide more survivor-centered services.

Part 1: Foundations of Harm Reduction – March 25 • 10 am to 12 pm
We’ll start by providing a comprehensive overview of harm reduction. This approach incorporates a practical set of strategies designed to prevent disease and promote health by “meeting people where they are” rather than making judgments about where they should be in terms of their personal health and lifestyle. This course will assist providers in more effectively engaging their clients in various interventions to reduce the risk of harm.

Part 2: Safer Use – April 22 • 10 am to 12 pm
Continuing in this series, we will provide information about how drugs are used, why they are used, and ways to reduce the harms from using drugs. Participants will also learn how to use Harm Reduction methods to engage with survivors who use drugs and better understand their experience.
Part 3: Redefining Trauma Through a Harm Reduction Framework – May 6 • 10 am to 12 pm

We’ll end our series by exploring how sexual and intimate partner violence intersects with other forms of oppression such as substance use living/lived history, sex work history, gender identity/expression, race, class, and sexual orientation. Participants will be able to discuss how applying a Harm Reduction Framework can help make their services more survivor-centered and trauma-informed.

This is a space for direct service staff such as college/university-employed staff, nonprofit-employed staff, and volunteers who work directly with survivors and/or violence prevention programming on college/university campuses.
The April OCCAP meeting will feature one hour of training titled “Working with Student Groups: Moving from Chance Encounters to Targeted Efforts” facilitated by Christi Scott Bartman of Eyes Up Appalachia.
Training Description: As a professor I have long appreciated the energy, creativity and innovation my students bring to the classroom. But as the founder of Eyes Up Appalachia, I appreciate it even more! My initial efforts with students were chance encounters but over the years they have become more targeted. They bridge the spectrum from basic (but valuable) internships and student projects to student groups leading campus campaigns against human trafficking. Join me as we look at the variety of ways this has developed through my anti-human trafficking initiative.
Objectives:

Identify opportunities on college campuses where initial exposure to students allow the exchange of ideas and promote the natural development of relationships
Understand the connection potential in those relationships and how to take them to the level of an organized effort
Assess strategies to keep those relationships moving forward

The final 30 minutes of the meeting will be space to connect with campus advocates and preventionists across the state.
