Open Seminar for DV and SA Advocates in the Medical Setting

December 16, 2021 10:00 am
Virtual Event

On December 16th, 2022, the Maryland Health Care Coalition Against Domestic Violence presented “Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Survivor Advocacy in the Medical Setting: Guidance on Providing Survivor-centered Care,” a seminar built for​ domestic violence and sexual assault victim advocates in hospital-based response programs and advocates from community-based service providers who conduct interventions in hospitals and clinics. The 65 professionals who attended were able to examine common challenges faced in the medical setting and strategies to overcome each. During the presentation, presenters provided tools which offer person-centered key points and strategies that can be used on-the-go with survivors and staff in the medical setting, as ​well as strategies for engaging hospital leadership in improving survivor-centered care.

 


Domestic Violence Awareness Month Movie Screening of “And So I Stayed”

October 14, 2021 6:30 pm
Virtual Event

On October 14th, 20201 the Maryland Health Care Coalition Against Domestic Violence recognized Domestic Violence Awareness Month with a screening of the documentary “And So I Stayed,” followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion, moderated by Tovah Kasdin, Health Care Coalition Steering Committee Member and Director of the ElderSAFE Center.

Panelists included: Deborah Knapp, Survivor and Advocate; Leigh Goodmark, JD, Marjorie Cook Professor of Law and Director of the Gender Violence Clinic; Lakeisha Keyes, Corrections Educator and Crisis Counselor of UM Capital Region Health; and Melissa Hoppmeyer, Chief of the Special Victims and Family Violence Unit of Prince George’s County.

“And So I Stayed” is an award-winning documentary about survivors of abuse fighting for their lives and spending years behind bars. These women paid a steep price with long prison sentences, lost time with loved ones, and painful memories. Formerly incarcerated survivor-advocate Kim Dadou Brown, who met her wife while incarcerated, is a driving force in the passage of New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA), a new law meant to prevent survivors from receiving harsh prison sentences for their acts of survival. Nikki Addimando, a mother of two young children, suffered the consequences when a judge didn’t follow the law’s guidelines. Tanisha Davis, a single mother who was ripped away from her son in 2013, is hopeful the new law is her way out of a harsh prison sentence.
