Summit Theme
Financial Wellness: Embracing Abundance and Innovation
For too long we have been living and managing through the lens of scarcity and doing more with less. If we allow ourselves to instead plan and strive for abundance, what would that look like? What would abundance mean for survivors and advocates? Consider unique tools, new technologies, wellness within an organization or team, as well as tried and true approaches that your organization is proud to share. This can mean internal policies for employee and survivor caretaking, unique program services, radical policy updates, best practices, and inclusivity at the forefront of service.
Summit Audience Summit attendees include representatives from local programs, state domestic violence coalitions, local and national partners, subject matter experts, advocates, trainers and educators interested in economic justice and empowerment, financial education and anti-violence areas.
Topic Areas and Learning Objectives
Economic security is a key component to safety and survival. Economic justice means advocates, policy makers, organizations and institutions work together to eliminate barriers to short-term safety and long-term security.
Conference sessions will be designed to provide attendees with activities, materials, and knowledge to foster involvement within the domestic violence and economic justice fields. We are looking for innovations and strategies that can be applied in multiple circumstances or points of intervention for diverse audiences and communities
This year’s Summit will have a focus on abundance and innovation; which can include but not limited to housing, banking/credit and wellbeing (financial care, community care, and self-care).
