Shelter House and the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence will offer free training later this month.
The session, titled, “Exploring the Intersection of Family Violence, Trauma and Mental Health," will take place 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. May 20 at Embassy Suites in Destin.
Cathy Cave from the National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma and Mental Health, and Olga Trujillo, an attorney, author and national trainer and speaker, will speak for advocates, case workers, law enforcement personnel and therapists.
Participants will examine a lived experience of violence, trauma and mental health concerns that may arise. Attendees will learn trauma's impact on the brain and how they can respond to survivors in more effective ways.
