Welcome to the May 2016 edition of Hope House's Community Education E-bulletin
You're Invited: May 17 Educational Luncheon in Wisconsin Dells
"Strengths-based Support for Victims of Domestic and Sexual Abuse" Please join us! Faith Leaders for Healthy Relationships and Hope House present "Strengths-based Support for Victims of Domestic and Sexual Abuse" by Julie Fisher, Associate Director at Hope House, on May 17 from 11:30 am - 1 pm at Trappers Turn in Wisconsin Dells. Domestic violence and sexual assault are two of the most traumatic experiences a human can endure. Victims need to be heard, empowered, understood and supported in order to begin healing and moving forward. Strengths-based support begins with the understanding of the impact of trauma on an individual or family – and emphasizes survivor strengths, competencies, and adaptive capacities. We hope you will join us for lunch and will walk away with a deeper understanding of the impact of trauma and how to support those who have experienced it. Register by May 12th to ensure your place at the luncheon. Please click here to order your ticket and reserve your seat! This is a secular workshop and discussion, and all are welcome to attend.

I tried to register for the lunch and learn on May17 at Trappers Turn. It would not take my credit card. Can you sign me up and I can give you the card the day of the event?
