This webinar series builds on previous NCDVTMH webinars, which offered a framework for understanding trauma in the context of domestic violence and for responding to trauma in the lives of survivors and their children. This new series will focus on practical strategies and tools for creating accessible, culturally attuned, domestic violence- and trauma-informed services and organizations.

The peer support movement is grounded in principles of mutuality, reciprocity, non-judgmental respect, and empathy, all of which can counter the negative impacts of trauma and support healing. Trauma-informed peer support offers opportunities for relationships to be based upon power-sharing and transparency and are consistent with those of domestic violence advocacy. This webinar will explore opportunities for domestic violence programs to consider components of peer support that can enhance trauma-informed services and advocacy, including support for survivors experiencing mental health crises.
