Registration: 8:00 a.m. Presentation: 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Northcentral Technical College Center for Health Sciences Auditorium
Dealing with domestic violence in counseling settings is often complex and multidimensional. Both newcomers to the field as well as seasoned mental health professionals, counselors, clergy, and others are often perplexed about how to appropriately deal with cases where this relationship dynamic is revealed. Questions arise in terms of how to hold abusers accountable, how to empower victims, responding to the identification of relationship abuse, and dealing sensitively with issues related to faith and religion should they occur, just to name a few.

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
2016-07-30 08:00 - 17:00 | WI
Did you know human trafficking happens in Wisconsin?

July 30th is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. Human trafficking is the use of violence, fraud or coercion to force someone to perform labor or commercial sex acts. Started by the United Nations, World Day Against Trafficking in Persons helps raise awareness about human trafficking around the world. But, did you know human trafficking is a major problem even here in Wisconsin?
Many are surprised to hear that human trafficking happens close to home. No Wisconsin community is immune to the presence of human trafficking.
There is a strong connection between domestic abuse and human trafficking. Because domestic abuse shelters are often the only crisis housing available for women in many Wisconsin communities, The Women’s Community’s programs regularly serve victims of trafficking.
The Women’s Community continues to advocate for changes in law and policy to better protect survivors and to better address human trafficking.

Date: May 8, 2016
Location: Marathon County Forestry Department
212 River Dr # 2, Wausau, WI 54403
Doors Open: 4:00pm
The purpose of the community forum is receiving feedback from the Hmong community on the services that we had provided and hopefully answer these following three questions:

What have we done to impact the Hmong community in the last 20 years?
What services were most beneficial?
What would you like to see us do?

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact our Executive Director, Jane Graham Jennings, at 715-842-5663 or at jane@womenscommunity.org. Thank you for your time and for everything you’ve done. We hope to see you on that day.
