Special guest speaker Sheyla Camacho, Senior Community Health Educator at Parkland Hospital, will be joining us for this event that is being hosted by NCTC’s Awareness Team!

Attendees will participate in the "In Her Shoes" experiential learning activity. Based on the experiences of real survivors, participants will engage in a simulation in which they walk in the shoes of the various characters experiencing abusive and controlling relationships. It has led individual participants and whole communities to shift their thinking about domestic violence and evolve their practices around what it really means to support survivors, hold those who cause harm accountable, and envision a world where violence and abuse don't flourish as they do now.

Following the "In Her Shoes" learning experience we will continue to learn more about domestic violence, a crime that is so rampant that the CDC views intimate partner violence as a public health issue. The presentation will include discussion surrounding the different types of abuse and statistics. Best practices and resources will also be covered during this presentation. Faculty, staff, and students are all encouraged to attend!
