Free Event- Wednesday, October 30th 1pm-5pm

Domestic violence victims experience terrible and traumatic physical violence—often directed at the head, neck and face—through blows to the head or strangulation. We are just discovering how that violence impacts the brain. Brain injury caused by domestic violence is rarely identified and almost never immediately treated, and results in short- and long-term physical, emotional, and cognitive consequences that can impact every area of a person’s life--including their ability to successfully access and participate in your agency's services.

Join us as we discuss the complex and nuanced intersection of domestic violence, trauma, and brain injury. We will also provide an overview of the groundbreaking research in Ohio about the intersection of brain injury and domestic violence, and equip you with strategies to use CARE, an evidence-based, brain injury aware, trauma-informed framework focused on awareness, accommodations and accessibility with hands on tools available for your use.
