Her Table: Educated, Empowered, and Safe

Her Table is a shared meal that provides an opportunity for women to connect over good food and meaningful conversation. Dinner, babysitting, and all materials will be provided. Friends are always welcome!

Workshop Topic: Educated, Empowered, and Safe

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and awareness begins with education. Come discover the power of being prepared.

This interactive workshop is designed to equip you and the women in your life with essential safety knowledge and advocacy tools. Whether you’re seeking information for yourself or wanting to support someone you care about, this session provides practical resources every woman should know. What You’ll Learn:

• How to use digital tools to stay informed about offender status and research criminal histories in Bexar County and beyond
• Understand the protective order process, including evidence requirements and court proceedings
• Identify signs of tracking devices and what to do if you find one
• Recognize warning signs and develop safety strategies for yourself and your community

This isn’t just about learning safety tools; it’s about building a network of informed women who can support each other. Bring a friend, bring your sister, bring your neighbor. Together, we’re stronger and safer.
