BASW student Eva Steele will be presenting at the Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors Conference March 29-April 2 in Birmingham, AL. Her presentation is entitled "Acknowledging the 'I' in 'Survive': Placing IPV Survivors at the Forefront of Trauma-Informed Care." Project Healing Sideways works as the only University of Pittsburgh group solely dedicated to advocating for IPV as a health determinant and providing a platform for survivors to weigh in on this process as established leaders. Through the utilization of empowerment theory as a route to healing, PHS serves the Pitt community as a whole in survivor-led initiatives that support and empower survivors without asking them to directly confirm that identity. Through three years of evolving work, the PHS model has evolved into a 'hidden empowerment theory' that seeks to advocate for more holistic and survivor-led trauma care for all communities. IPV survivor, advocate, and PHS founder Eva Steele calls the community to action as scholarly communities seek to engage in person-first, and person-led, holistic care.
