Description: When we work with children and youth, with at-risk populations, in social settings, with clients in therapy, we can see the effects of violence in their lives. In this workshop we will work experientially to find a handle for violence in our own lives, as the first step to prevent and detect situations of violence. We will explore how to identify violence from a Focusing and embodied perspective to empower ourselves –transforming violence around us.

Target audience: professionals (psychologists, therapists, educators, social workers, li ntawd.) working with children and youth, with at-risk populations, with clients in therapy; people working for social change (associations, foundations, li ntawd.); and general public interested in dealing with violence in new ways.
