WEBINAR GUIDE:

  • Courtney Armento

Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence (DV/IPV) are disturbing realities for far too many people. The statistics are startling: 1 in 3 women will experience severe intimate partner violence, 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 teens will likewise be victims over the course of their lives. These numbers are hard to fathom because DV/IPV are hidden. The truth is, violence is embedded in our culture, but you can be pro-active in reducing violence. Courtney Armento will offer insight around how to respond, (what to/what not to say) if someone comes to you who has experienced domestic or intimate partner violence. 

We welcome an ecumenical audience for this training. This topic exists in every community, and the more churches that receive training, the more effective we can be in creating a new culture of safety and awareness. Shatter shame, stigma and silence and help stop violence now; learn valuable information for your next steps as Christian leaders who are strategically poised to offer hope and care.
