S.I.P. with PWJC

Be a Part of a Community of Support

S.I.P. events began a year ago, as a way to connect while we all "sheltered in place." While some restrictions have been lifted, many remain and we find ourselves "still in place." Join us for our S.I.P. Event series, and learn, engage, and experience community as we all are "still in place."

We are creating "community" across the internet in order to support free legal services for our clients. Take part in these streaming event; S.I.P. with PWJC events range from free to single fee for streaming (donations are welcome).

MONOLOGUE AND A CHAT

Trauma manifests itself differently for everyone. It’s often difficult for people who haven’t faced it to respond, help or understand, leading to the question “why didn’t you leave?” Experience a dramatic reading of playwright Cynthia L. Cooper’s “All Databases Are Incomplete,” originally presented at Artists and Writers Respond to Domestic Violence, an event organized by Remembering the Women Institute.

Witness the impact of abuse patterns commonly referred to as coercive control in this powerful monologue performed by Lisa Pelikan, providing insight as to how patterns of abuse might be normalized, the mind develops survival tactics, and the detrimental impact that takes hold of a victim’s life.

Join us after the presentation for an informative discussion on the coping methods victims employ to handle the psychological trauma in order to survive the barrage of abusive behavior that underlies intimate partner violence.

Panelists include:

• Cynthia L. Cooper, Playwright - Author - Journalist
• Liane Nelson Ph.D., Westchester Jewish Community Services Chief Psychologist; Director, Trager Lemp Center
• Maria Trusa, Author of "I Say No More" and CEO of Formé Medical Center
