Children who witness domestic violence suffer physically and emotionally. They are more likely to experience behavioral, social, and psychological problems including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulty forming relationships. The trauma can negatively impact their development into adulthood. Exposure to violence in the home creates an environment of constant fear for children and affects their ability to feel safe and secure.

DESCRIPTION
At the root of all abuse is the fact that someone else knows. One out of every three adolescents in the United States is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner. That means that everyone knows someone who has or will be abused in some way. This workshop introduces participants to the topics of teen dating and sexual violence. Participants will explore their awareness of abusive behaviors and warning signs common to teen dating relationships, with an emphasis on healthy relationships as well. Learn about power and control, the cycle of violence, characteristics of healthy relationships, and facts about technology abuse.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Samantha Collier founded and created TeamTeal365, a small grassroots organization established in 2009 that is dedicated to empowering, educating, advocating, and supporting ALL survivors of sexual assault.
In 2012, TeamTeal365 became an LLC. Abused as a child and raped as an adult, Samantha feels a
personal obligation to serve and be a visible witness to her community about what a sexually abused person looks like. The goal of the organization is to wrap each survivor in compassion and trust starting with the simple words, “I believe you”—words Samantha knows firsthand can help victims move from surviving to thriving. Samantha is a voice of powerful visible change. Because violence and sexual assault leaves victims living in fear, some never get the chance to realize their full potential because their pain outweighs their strengths. Samantha’s goal is to reach out to survivors of sexual violence, as well as their families, partners, and siblings, to move them from merely surviving to thriving.

A survivor-centered approach is key to ensure access to healthcare, psychosocial support, legal assistance, livelihood alternatives, safe shelter, and other potential life-saving services for those who've been sexually exploited and abused by aid workers, peacekeepers and others preying on vulnerable groups. In the decades since UN peacekeepers and UN civilian staff, NGOs and diplomats were found to sexually abuse and exploit local women and children in Cambodia (1991-1993) during UNTAC, too little has been done to provide services to the survivors.
Survivors need access to Post-exposure Preventive Kits within 72 hours of an assault. It is necessary for aid organisations to consult intensively with local women's associations, organisations for people with disabilities, LGBTIQ organisations and those representing other minorities and groups at risk, in order to develop safe, community based reporting mechanisms and map and vet assistance to survivors.
