Genesis Lunch & Learn: How to Make Testifying a Healing Experience for the Victim
January 23 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
Free
Bring your lunch & join us every 4th Thursday
Description: Testifying in court can be retraumatizing for a victim who has experienced physical or sexual abuse. This workshop will help attendees understand how trauma impacts the brain as well as other areas of functioning. It will explore ways to prepare the victim for a successful and healing experience on the witness stand, to benefit the victim rather than traumatize her further when her testimony is required.
