A Video about Domestic Violence by Nitza Vera. Commission Status Hearings Bronx Banana Kelly 8/1994 "In 1994, after the OJ Simpson murder case, NYS held hearings in all 5 boroughs in a collaboration with the NYS Commission on the Status of Women, of which Congresswoman Molinari was Chair. I took part in the Bronx Domestic Violence Hearings which took place at the Rotunda at the Bronx Borough President's, hon. Fernando Ferrer's office in the Supreme Court Building. I wanted to point out how domestic violence affected my life as a child, mother, neighbor, wife, service provider and community resident. Speaking of such a taboo subject in a Latino community was almost unbearable, but I needed to do the best I could for my daughters and young women. As a result, policies with the Section 8 programs and Intimate Partnership were created to include and protect families who were excluded previously. I use this video to educate and create dialogue among not just our women, but also men who believed that this was part of being a father and husband. Please use and forward to those who will benefit, clients or staff. Thank you"

Welcome Address, Emile Genest, WOCPSCN Board Member Host Speaker: Dr. Ka’Ryn Holder-Jackson, Executive Director ACCEL San Mateo County, WOCPSCN Board Member Guest Speaker: Anne Olderog, Senior Partner at Vivaldi Guest Speaker: Dr. Batya Weinbaum, Academic and Publisher at Femspec The first time in history, there are five generations working side by side: the traditional generation (born pre-1945), Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964), Generation X (born 1965-1980), Generation Y (1981-1995), and the linkster generation (born after 1995). While each generation has its own style of communication, intergenerational networking differences have their challenges as well as advantages. Intergenerational business styles and structures can enhance a business environment or limit shared ideas and insights into the business building. Because JazzyJZ Mentoring Program is designed to provide support for young businesswomen through the wisdom of seasoned professionals, this intergenerational discussion will consider business interpersonal, and intercultural communication skills effectiveness. In honor of Women's History Month, the JazzyJZ will consider how women's communications skills improve gender equity, and what aspects of intergenerational communication support such growth.

According to Dr. Roy Aranda for Long Island Psychological Consulting P.C., the pressures of women to gain muscle in training but stay thin to uphold a standard of beauty outside of sports is irreconcilable.” Dr. Aranda indicates that “According to the American Psychiatric Association, women are “nearly twice as likely” as men to develop depression, anxiety and eating disorders. [Adding] athletic burnout is a current epidemic among all ages but in particular, it is highest among female athletes who exhibit maladaptive perfectionism.” “Maladaptive perfectionism refers to the rigid standards and unrealistically high expectations that one places upon herself. With the unpredictability of sport, being unable to cope with challenges or changes can lead to excessive stress and in turn, burnout.” From the pressure of training to social somatic norms, we will discuss how “maladaptive perfectionism” affects the mental health of girls and women in sports. https://royaranda.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/females-sports-and-mental-health/.

The faith community has been slow to discuss domestic violence among its parishioners. This panel will address how the intersectionality of class, gender, age, and denomination affect discussions of domestic violence in the church. The Panel is based on Moderator Loretta Green-Williams' autobiographical book, Killing Me Softly With His Words: A Child of God's Response to Domestic Violence.
