📢 Join us for our upcoming Pathways to Opportunity webinar, Leading with Empathy: Trauma-Informed Strategies for Supporting Survivors on the Path to Employment, presented by Futures Without Violence, Women Employed and Corporation for a Skilled Workforce.
Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and/or sexual harassment (DVSASSH) have experienced trauma–oftentimes multiple types of trauma including economic abuse and Adverse Childhood Experiences.
This webinar will help participants understand trauma symptoms and how trauma may affect participants’ success in education, workforce development, and victim/survivor support programs. Webinar participants will learn about trauma-informed approaches, principles, and practices. This will be a highly interactive webinar, with opportunities to work in smaller groups to explore scenarios and practice concrete examples.

Happy Pride from Women Employed! Women Employed is a voice for all women, including the rights of Trans women. WE believe has to include everyone. That means making sure our policies and advocacy center women across identities—including trans women, nonbinary people, and others who have historically been left out of conversations about workplace equity.
Trans women, particularly trans Women of Color, face some of the highest rates of workplace discrimination and economic insecurity. When we advocate for stronger labor protections, transparent pay policies, and access to benefits, we’re advocating for systems that work for them as well.
