In Their Shoes Simulation
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, making it an important time to deepen our understanding of the realities faced by individuals and families impacted by domestic violence. You are invited to participate in In Their Shoes, an interactive, experiential learning simulation that places participants in the role of a survivor parent navigating the challenges, barriers, and critical decisions often encountered while seeking safety and support. Through this hands-on experience, participants will gain insight into the complexities of domestic violence, particularly its impact on parents and children, explore how systems such as child welfare can influence survivor safety and well-being, and engage in meaningful dialogue that fosters empathy, awareness, and advocacy. This powerful learning opportunity helps transform knowledge into understanding by allowing participants to experience, firsthand, the difficult circumstances many survivors face every day.
