Upcoming Workshops
In support of Commander's Readiness and Resiliency Council (CR2C) and the continued objectives of empowering you our Soldiers, (Active and Retired), Civilians and Families, Army Community Service Family Advocacy Program (FAP) will be providing the following classes:
October
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to raise greater awareness of resources for Soldiers, Family members and Army Civilians who may need support or want to help someone they know. This year, the Army's DVAM awareness and prevention outreach efforts feature two distinct campaigns, “What’s Inside Matters,” which focuses on victim awareness and connecting to support and “Pause,” which speaks to those who are concerned about their own potentially harmful behavior and want help. These campaigns promote healthy relationships that lead to a safe environment and ensure access to domestic abuse prevention resources and support services for all members of the Army community.
This month the Roots & Wings Workshop series will focus on the following topics, presented by community partner, Turning Point, Inc. of Macomb County, to keep the conversation going about ways to recognize maladaptive behaviors and support survivors:
Supporting Youth: Empowering Conversations on Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships
Wednesday October 8th 2:00 PM EST
TEDS# ACS FAP 2024-50
This training will give participants tools to talk to youth in their lives about relationships that they are in, whether they are safe or equitable, and what to do if they are not. Participants will also learn skills to support youth they suspect are being abused and ways to respond to disclosures.
Recognizing and Responding to Domestic Violence
Tuesday October 15th 2:00 PM EST POSTPONED
TEDS# ACS EFMP 2022-2
Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior in which one intimate partner seeks to establish and maintain power and control over their partner. This training will provide education about the dynamics of domestic violence, types of abuse, and power and control tactics abusers may use. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the impacts of domestic violence on survivors, their loved ones, and the community. This includes survivor-centered, trauma-informed, advocacy-based ways to support survivors and provide resources. Participants leave with knowledge of Turning Point services and ways to get involved.
Healthy Relationships
Tuesday October 21st 2:00 PM EST
TEDS# ACS FAP 2022-1
Understanding healthy relationships can help people make informed decisions about their partners and relationships. Turning Point staff will introduce skills to building healthy relationships. Participants will be able to identify types of boundaries that exist and how they inform our expectations about relationships.
Standing Together: How to Support Survivors of Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence, and Human Trafficking
Wednesday October 22nd 2:00 PM EST
TEDS# ACS FAP 2025-04
Survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking often turn first to friends, family, and their loved ones for support. Knowing how to respond can make a life-changing difference. This training will empower community members with the tools and knowledge they need to provide informed and safe support to survivors in their lives.
