In Part Two of this series, we will explore trauma-informed responses to gender-based violence. We will address how to help create a healthy, safe environment that pulls survivors toward safety and well-being. Gender-based violence is not a private or family matter, it's an issue that affects the community and we must work together to provide help and hope.

Part 1: Gender-Based Violence: Its Lasting Impact on Children was recorded and is available in our webinar FosterEd library.
