There’s an App for That?!

Trigger Warnings: Coping with Triggers in the Media

March 12, 2021: 12:00pm – 12:45pm

The messages we receive from the media can be overwhelming. Survivors of domestic and sexual violence, in particular, may encounter messages from the media that can trigger an array of emotions. Participants will leave the session able to identify the impact media has and strategies for coping with triggers from media exposure. Turning Point staff will discuss ways to provide support to survivors when triggered by the media. Click here to register. 

 

Gender Socialization

 March 26, 2021: 12:00pm – 12:45pm

Traditional binary gender roles normalize violence and contribute to an unequal balance of power. Turning Point staff will provide examples from the media to educate on the impact media has on the messages received about gender roles and how this relates to domestic and sexual violence. Participants will be more aware of the role they play in combating these messages. Click here to register. 

 

LGBTQ+ 101; Labels, Language, and More

March 31, 2021: 6:00pm – 6:45pm

A majority of people in the LGBTQ+ community will be affected by domestic violence and/or sexual assault in their lifetimes, yet the stigma around violence in the gay community still exists. Join Tracy and Marissa to discuss common terms and identities found in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning+ community, and how these identities intersect with intimate partner violence. Participants will learn how to ask questions about an identity in a respectful way, and where to go to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community. Click here to register.
