October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men experience rape, stalking and/or physical violence sometime in their life. Trans and nonbinary people also experience high rates of intimate partner violence. Let's talk about how we can work together to recognize signs of domestic violence in our community. This is the first in a three part community conversation discussion series about domestic violence. You are invited to attend a single session or as many as you would like.
This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community.
About the Format
With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
