Join us for an illuminating webinar titled "Poly-Victimization: When Lightning Strikes the Same Place Twice," where we delve into the profound and often overlooked challenges faced by domestic violence survivors who endure multiple forms of abuse. Poly-victimization can lead to compounded trauma, making recovery more complex and urgent. Led by Myra Strand, owner of Strand Squared Solutions, this webinar will explore the intricate dynamics of poly-victimization, beginning with a clear definition and exploration of the scope of this critical issue. Myra will discuss the psychophysiological impact of experiencing multiple forms of abuse, uncover the broader implications for survivors, and outline effective solutions and interventions. Through her expert insights, we aim to equip advocates, professionals, and allies with the knowledge and tools needed to provide holistic support to those struck by the storm of poly-victimization.
