So You Want to Learn More About Domestic Violence and Beyond, Eh?

Seattle's Northwest Network is now offering a series of free webinars on various topics related to domestic violence and beyond. I participated in the first one, which was a powerful combination of basic DV education and empowerment model advocacy. What is "beyond DV?" Why, healthy relationships, of course! It's not sufficient to not be in an abusive relationship, right? I can't speak for you, but I want my relationships to be fun and fulfilling. How about you? NW Network also has a library of on-demand webinars that are directly relevant to any self-defense instructor — among the topics are strangulation injuries, and intimate partner stalkers, and battered women charged with crimes. Not exactly light viewing, but highly educational. From their website: Founded in 1987 by lesbian survivors of battering, the NW Network works to end abuse in our diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities. As an organization founded by and for LGBT survivors, we’re deeply committed to fostering the empowerment of all survivors of abuse. The NW Network increases our communities’ ability to support the self-determination and safety of bisexual, transgendered, lesbian and gay survivors of abuse through education, organizing and advocacy. We work within a broad liberation movement dedicated to social and economic justice, equality and respect for all people and the creation of loving, inclusive and accountable communities.
