Description

TWO SESSIONS!!!! 9:00am—11:00am or 1:00PM—3:00PM In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness month, the North Texas Domestic Violence Awareness Committee is offering a FREE training: In Her Shoes. In Her Shoes is an interactive and experiential exercise where participants move, do, think and experience the lives of domestic violence victims. It is a simulation exercise in which participants adopt a character and her story. The exercise allows participants to navigate the often difficult circumstances that victims face. 183 women were killed by a male intimate partner in 2020. 45% of those women were in the process, or had made attempts to leave the relationship (Texas Council on Family Violence, 2020). On average, a victim will leave and return to the abuser 7 times before leaving that relationship permanently (The National Domestic Violence Hotline, 2022).
