October is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). During this month, AVI helps the TCNJ community to identify and de-escalate domestic/dating violence. We also provide programming around healthy relationships, gender socialization, and ways to support survivors of domestic/dating violence.
Our calendar of events, & workshop flyers (below) contain important dates, times, and information about our virtual opportunities for October 2020. To access our virtual workshops, please click the links below. If you have any questions, please email us at oavi@tcnj.edu.
Escalation Workshops: AVI has partnered with the One Love Foundation to host two Escalation Workshops this month. Each workshop will feature a film entitled ‘Escalation’ and a facilitated discussion afterwards. Those who attend can expect to be able to identify signs of dating and domestic violence, learn how to intervene when they see dating violence happening, and how to support survivors.
