- Short Description:
- Criminal or Victim? Too often, trafficked youth are misidentified as offenders, punished for their exploitation, and denied the support they desperately need. Join Mikayla Simeral, MSW, Director of Training Advancement at Shared Hope International, for a webinar that traces the evolution of domestic minor sex trafficking in the U.S. and exposes the persistent systemic failures that criminalize rather than protect survivors. Drawing from years of direct advocacy alongside youth impacted by trafficking and now informing national policy and training efforts, Mikayla offers a trauma-informed lens for understanding the realities of exploitation—and concrete strategies to build early identification, intervention, and meaningful pathways to healing.

- Short Description:
- Over the years, we have been building towards monumental military justice reform. This year, we have never been closer. Both the House and the Senate have introduced bold pieces of legislation to amend the justice system, and DoD leadership, for the first time, is speaking in support of an overhaul. And for good reason. Sexual assault numbers peaked at 20,500 in 2018, and a recent DoD IG report just determined that 64% of military special victims cases did not have appropriately trained trial counsel (or prosecutors) assigned to them.

- Short Description:
- Political violence leaves a lasting imprint on individuals, communities, and societies, often perpetuating cycles of fear, trauma, and social division. This webinar explores the complex dynamics of political violence—its causes, mechanisms, and psychological consequences—through a trauma-informed lens. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples, including events in the United States, it examines how political violence undermines mental health, weakens social cohesion, and erodes institutional trust. The session emphasizes the importance of individual and collective resilience, including trauma-informed care, community solidarity, and the “aggregation phenomenon” that enables survivors to connect and heal. Participants will gain practical insights into mitigating the mental health impact of political violence and fostering recovery at personal, social, and societal levels.

- Short Description:
- In 2018, the Department of Defense estimated that 20,500 members of the U.S. military were sexually assaulted. This is the highest number since 2005 and constitutes a nearly 50% increase in the number of assaults against women (DOD SAPRO, 2019). Despite the creation of the DOD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office in 2005, prevention efforts have failed to adequately counter the culture of misogyny and harassment in the U.S. military that contribute to the epidemic of sexual violence.
