Tailored Mentoring With You in Mind

Individualized, confidential mentorship is both supportive and encouraging. You will discover new tools to better navigate systems both within and outside of the shelter. These tools will assist in building trust with the participant/survivor. Together, we will explore how the advocate is showing up for the participant, fellow coworkers and practicing self-care. Using tools gained from a more empathic approach, we will share examples of how to best navigate power dynamics and employ empathy in all participant interactions. Peer-led support helps shelter advocates, including those who are survivors, have a more positive experience supporting individuals affected by domestic violence.
