SUMMARY:Basic Advocacy Training
DESCRIPTION:This interactive training is designed for program staff or volunteers in their first year of victim advocacy work. Participants will learn a brief history of our movement and the building blocks and tools of advocacy. Throughout the course\, participants will integrate the foundational principles of a Trauma-Informed Approach into all levels of advocacy work. Participants will also be able to identify and define sexual and domestic violence; learn the application of best practices such as risk assessments and safety plans; understand the influence of culture and context on both victimization and survivorship; and learn about resources in Virginia for supporting both survivors and advocates. (This is the updated version of Basic Advocacy Training\, incorporating domestic and sexual violence throughout instead of separating the training material. This provides all advocates a more comprehensive Basic Advocacy Training.) \nThe deadline to register for this training is April 8th.

SUMMARY:Principles of Primary Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Primary prevention programs are focused on reducing or eliminating the first-time perpetration of sexual violence and intimate partner violence (SV/IPV). This means figuring out what factors make some people more at-risk to perpetrate SV/IPV\, and changing or interrupting those factors. This training delves into the key concepts underlying this innovative work\, highlights promising practices from the field\, and includes an overview of Virginia’s Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Sexual Violence & Intimate Partner Violence used by sexual and domestic violence agencies throughout Virginia and across the country. \nRegistration closes on April 16th.
