Abstract

Violence against women is a pervasive issue that demands urgent action and effective strategies for prevention and healing. My presentation, “From Trauma to Power: Finding Strength After Violence,” addresses the psychological and emotional impacts of violence and abuse, sharing insights from my educational self-help book rooted in true-life experiences.

The objective of this talk is to empower participants with tools and knowledge to recognize and combat the roots of violence against women. By emphasizing communication and emotional expression, we can cultivate an environment for children that promotes healthy relationships and early intervention strategies. I will outline methods from my initiatives, including workshops and storytelling, aimed at engaging both children and adults in meaningful conversations about prevention.

Results from my programs show a positive shift in understanding emotional health and an increased willingness to discuss challenging topics related to violence and abuse. The presentation will include a figure illustrating the correlation between early emotional education and reduced incidents of violence, as well as a table summarizing participant feedback and outcomes from my workshops.
