Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast
Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast is a collaborative project of Branches Domestic Violence Shelter that is designed to shed light on issues of domestic violence that continue to oppress victims daily--these conversations will educate and empower listeners to recognize the insidious footprint of domestic violence in our communities as well as best practices for effective advocacy. With 1 in 4 women facing domestic violence in their life time, and communities of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community facing higher rates and more risk for reporting DV, there has never been a more urgent call to create not only trauma-informed services, but space for all of us to be members of a trauma-responsive community. This podcast can be your first step.

A Real Family Supports: Gender Identity and Domestic Violence
Welcome back listeners! We're so honored to have our friend and colleague, Ripley Varela from the West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence joining us for this episode to talk about the complex needs of non-cisgender survivors. We cover everything from unique barriers they can face, to how trans-erasure can leave domestic violence victims without resources and services.
If you'd like to learn more about this topic, we're also offering a FREE virtual training coming up on June 28th at 10am, co-presented by Ripley and Branches advocate, Sara Blevins O'Toole.
