SUMMARY:Collective Calls
DESCRIPTION:There is power and strength in a collective! With a rotating focus\, these monthly meetings are opportunities for members to build community and strength as we work together to end sexual violence. \nIn-Service (members only)\nIn-service sessions are short trainings during which participants can grow skills\, cultivate new partnerships\, and learn about developments in the field. \nProgram Spotlight (members only)\nProgram spotlight sessions are opportunities to engage with peers and build skills for giving and receiving feedback. In these sessions\, an identified program will spotlight a project or a topic\, and participants will have opportunities to ask clarifying questions and make recommendations. \nConnection Spaces (open to all)\nConnection space sessions are opportunities to connect and be in community with those who do similar work in Ohio. In these breakout spaces\, participants will connect with their peers to discuss emerging topics related to their role(s). These spaces will feature breakout rooms for preventionists\, direct service advocates\, and SART/CCRT leaders. Additional breakout rooms may be available for rotating topic-specific conversations. \nIn-service and Program Spotlight sessions are reserved for OAESV members only.
