vitalvoices 2023-2024
The vitalvoices Speaker Series serves as a forum to bring scholars and practitioners alike to speak to students, faculty, alumni and community partners at UHD's College of Public Service. It is our hope that those we invite to speak will share, from the heart, their professional experiences, their knowledge, and how the work they do impacts society as a whole. We like to feature people whose work is interdisciplinary and touches upon the fields social work, criminal justice and urban education.
Creating a Culture of Care: How Unleashing the Power of Healthy Relationships and Bystander Intervention Can Make a Difference
Thursday, April 24th at 5:30 p.m.
In this workshop, presented by the Harris County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council, Kenneth Scott will teach participants how to build and maintain healthy relationships while developing skills to intervene in potentially harmful situations. Through interactive activities and discussions, we will explore the power of bystander intervention and how it can positively impact individuals and communities. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of healthy relationships and practical strategies for promoting safety and well-being in their personal and professional lives. Join us at the Commerce Street building in room C100 to unleash the power of healthy relationships and be a force for positive change.
