Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast
Branches Domestic Violence Shelter
Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast is a collaborative project of Branches Domestic Violence Shelter that is designed to shed light on issues of domestic violence that continue to oppress victims daily--these conversations will educate and empower listeners to recognize the insidious footprint of domestic violence in our communities as well as best practices for effective advocacy. With 1 in 4 women facing domestic violence in their life time, and communities of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community facing higher rates and more risk for reporting DV, there has never been a more urgent call to create not only trauma-informed services, but space for all of us to be members of a trauma-responsive community. This podcast can be your first step.

"What's Your Why?" with Amber
Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast
12/12/22 • 17 min
Just as our survivors have unique and transformative stories to share--so too, do our advocates. This special series highlights a personal moment with an advocate as we chat with them about why they do this sometimes difficult work.
To kick off this series, we're taking a moment to catch up with our Director of Client Services, Amber! Amber has served in many roles at Branches and has a strong advocacy approach that focuses on housing first, being trauma-informed, and survivor centered interventions. Today, we'll chat about why these things are so important to remember when working with survivors.
Finally, the "Why" Series was created to bring to the light the complexity and beauty of the relationship between advocate and survivor and to intimately connect our listeners with the healing, reconstructive power of advocacy. We hope you enjoy!
