Domestic violence is a pervasive public health and social justice issue that affects individuals across all communities, regardless of age, race, socioeconomic status, or gender identity. Social workers and mental health professionals play a critical role in identifying, supporting, and advocating for survivors, often serving as the first line of contact. In this webinar, Alexa Donnelly, LCSW will provide an in-depth discussion of domestic violence dynamics, explore the intersectionality of trauma and oppression, and examine evidence-based approaches to intervention. Participants will gain practical tools for trauma-informed, culturally responsive practice and develop strategies to support clients while prioritizing safety, dignity, and empowerment

She began as a direct support professional working with what was considered to be “difficult” cases. She practices very individualistic and personalized planning to assist people with disabilities to enhance their skills and achieve their goals. Alexa lives by the phrase “be the change you want to see in the world”. Although she knows that she cannot change the world overnight she is determined to change lives one person at a time. Alexa is committed to cultivating a positive learning experience and empowering environment for people with disabilities throughout the spectrum. She is always looking for creative and innovative ways to create lasting inclusive relationships to build supportive environments. She is determined to help others get a fair chance by opening her mind to learning and understanding what supports someone may need and what barriers they may face to achieving their goals.
