What should leaders keep in mind as they find themselves leading an organization during a turbulent time? There are no easy and perfect answers to these questions. In this TAQ, NRCDV's Patty Branco offers some musings for leaders in the anti-violence field.

This TAQ offers strategies for cultivating hope when things feel challenging in our work to address and prevent domestic and sexual violence.

This TAQ, excerpted from the newly released book The Future of Youth Violence Prevention: A mixtape for practice, policy, and research, offers recommendations for best practice centered on the 6 core beliefs of the ACE-DV Leadership Forum, reflecting the shared perspectives that emerged from the common experiences of adult children exposed to domestic violence in childhood.

This TAQ explores the prevalence of gender-based violence among Native women, COVID-19's impact on the Indigenous population, and how they connect to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit movement.

This TAQ explores the stigma around trauma despite its commonality, and centers dignity and humanity as the pathway to changing this narrative for both advocates and survivors.

For Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2024, the Domestic Violence Awareness Project is building on the theme Heal, Hold & Center, first launched in 2023. This theme is all about building connection to foster healing and racial justice for survivors. As beloved ancestor bell hooks reminds us, “Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”
