Videos we Love: Domestic Violence Resources
Leslie Morgan Steiner, author of “Crazy Love,” is a domestic violence survivor and activist. She talks about the question that everyone always asks… why doesn’t she just leave? An eyeopening experience and must watch for anyone who has ever asked why does she stay?
Psychologist Guy Winch uses humor and experience to make a strong case for everyone to start practicing emotional first aid.
PHD, author, professor and researcher Brené Brown offers up her take on what it means to be empathetic. A must watch for anyone looking for advice on what to say to a loved one suffering loss or hardship.
Domestic violence and sexual abuse are often called “women’s issues.” But in this bold, blunt talk, Jackson Katz points out that these are intrinsically men’s issues. Jackson Katz shows how these violent behaviors are tied to definitions of manhood. A clarion call for us all — women and men — to call out unacceptable behavior and be leaders of change.
Casandra Brené Brown is an American professor, lecturer, author, and podcast host. Brown is known in particular for her research on shame, vulnerability, and leadership. Brené has saved the lives of many through her work.
Contrary to popular belief, trauma is extremely common. We all have jobs, life events, and unpleasant situations causing us daily stress. But when your body continues to re-live that stress for days, weeks, months, or even years, that stress changes your brain creating trauma inside your mind. That trauma can eventually manifest in your physical body.
Videos about Consent
If you’re still struggling with consent just imagine instead of initiating sex you’re making them a cup of tea.
Videos about Teen Dating Violence
One of the goals at Southern Valley Alliance is to educate teens and young adults about the characteristics of unhealthy and abusive relationships. We aim to empower teens to talk to a trusted adult if they are questioning aspects of their relationship.
Don’t Confuse Love & Abuse.
Such a simple phrase can take on a different meaning; escalating from a statement of care to one of control.
