Experiential learning event offers participants a firsthand look at the challenges survivors face during Domestic Violence Awareness Month
As part of Florida State University's annual Discovery Days, the Florida Institute for Child Welfare will host an interactive learning simulation designed to help participants better understand the realities faced by survivors of domestic violence.
In the In Their Shoes simulation, participants assume the role of a parent navigating life while experiencing domestic violence. They complete real-world scenarios that simulate common barriers survivors face and make decisions related to safety, housing, finances, employment and family well-being.
"The In Their Shoes simulation is a unique experiential learning opportunity that can't easily be achieved through a lecture or reading on the topic," said simulation facilitator Krista Del Gallo. "Participants gain critical perspectives around the choices survivor parents make and how they often come from a place of protecting children and seeking safety in light of limited options."
