Description of Training

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services is pleased to announce that registration is now open for “The Seven Steps to Thriving After Abuse: Empowering Victims to Take the Journey Beyond Surviving." This free one-day training will be presented by attorney, advocate, and author, Susan Omilian.  When Susan’s nineteen-year-old niece, Maggie, a victim of dating violence, was killed in 1999, Susan transformed the tragedy into a unique opportunity to help others move beyond abuse and violence in their lives as Maggie could not. Susan now empowers survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse with her unique, innovative techniques for taking the journey from victim to survivor to thriver. She will demonstrate her Seven Steps to Thriving and A Road Map to Manifesting a Life of Power and Purpose, developed over the last 20 years in her My Avenging Angel Workshops,^TM based on the idea that living well is the best revenge. Her work, described as “life changing,” has helped hundreds of women stabilize their lives emotionally, socially, and financially. Be inspired and inspire others in your organization or practice with Susan’s award-winning, transformational work!
