Learn to recognize signs of domestic/sexual violence and the ways your library can support survivors through referrals and resources.

Libraries are in a unique position to offer resources and referrals to those experiencing domestic and sexual violence and stalking. In this webinar, learn how to identify the signs of domestic/sexual violence and stalking, what/when/how to say something to a survivor, and how to provide resources to someone who does not disclose abuse.  

You will learn how to: 

  • Identify ways to research and navigate reporting laws and resources for survivors and allies in your state
  • Recognize best practices for listening to a disclosure 
  • Select ways to improve your library's programs and procedures for survivors
  • Collaborate with crisis centers and other local partners to support survivors
