SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Lawyering
DESCRIPTION:In this training\, we’ll discuss trauma and its impact on survivors and attorneys as well as explore how to respond to clients using a trauma-informed approach. \nThe event is CLE pending. We’re hoping that training lawyers to be trauma-informed in their approach will lead to improved services for survivors. Lawyers will also gain an increased understanding of trauma and its impact on individuals and themselves.

SUMMARY:Red Flag Campaign Relaunch!
DESCRIPTION:It has been over a decade since we launched www.theredflagcampaign.org/ to help college students shift cultural norms around dating violence. In the intervening years\, hundreds of campuses across the nation have implemented the Red Flag Campaign. Since first introducing the campaign\, the way young people speak about and understand dating violence has changed\, so we have updated the Red Flag Campaign materials to reflect their experiences today. We are excited to announce that we have updated the digital Campus Planning Guide to include more information about bystander intervention as a strategy for violence prevention\, microaggressions as a form of dating violence\, and why healthy sexuality is a key concept of violence prevention. There is also new turnkey artwork for social media posts and updated printable handouts about effective bystander intervention strategies. \nIf you are unfamiliar with the campaign\, the Red Flag Campaign is a bystander intervention program that educates college students about sexual assault\, dating violence\, and stalking by highlighting the red flags that students may see in a friend’s relationship. The campaign includes a digital guide for implementation\, miniature red flags\, and printed posters featuring active bystander responses to warning signs for emotional abuse\, stalking\, microaggressions\, and other controlling and isolating behaviors. In 2023\, we launched two poster series (Series C and D)\, which include language around interrupting microaggressions and promoting joyful sexuality; you can click this link to compare and explore each series. \nJoin us on Thursday\, June 13th from 12:30pm to 1:30pm EDT to learn more about the new Red Flag Campaign materials including ideas for implementation and best practices around prevention programming.

SUMMARY:Trauma to Prison Pipeline\, Training for Trainers
DESCRIPTION:The vast majority of youth referred from school to law enforcement and into the juvenile justice system are survivors of trauma. The justice system typically fails to address\, and often deepens\, trauma. This 6-hour training will cover the connections between toxic stress and behavior issues in school\, how trauma connects with system-involved youth\, how and why restorative justice differs from traditional discipline\, and simple tips for responding to students in trauma-informed ways. \nParticipants will be given a brief “training in a box” to take back to deliver to your local schools and task forces to start conversations about simple steps that schools can take to significantly reduce the number of youth referred to law enforcement by responding to students in more trauma-informed ways. \nIntended audience: Preventionists\, youth advocates\, teachers\, community organizers working on disrupting trauma-to-prison pipeline\, and anyone working within their local schools on building healthy relationships and improving school climate. \nLunch is provided. \nCost: $60 for Basic and Non Members of the Action Alliance\, $35 for SDVA Members\, $40 for Affiliate\, Professional\, and Lifetime Members (Please put in member discount code at check out.)

SUMMARY:The Intersection of Firearms and IPV
DESCRIPTION:We know that intimate partner violence (IPV) is far more likely to become lethal when abusers have access to guns. We also know that protecting victims from homicide isn’t as simple as just prohibiting access to lethal means. True prevention requires work within our communities and systems to identify the root causes of violence and to develop collaborative victim-centered intervention strategies that create lasting change. This multidisciplinary training – designed for domestic violence advocates\, attorneys\, victim-witness\, law enforcement\, judicial and court staff\, and community partners – will provide participants with a deeper understanding of Virginia law as well as best practices and tools for implementing homicide prevention strategies in your own community. This training is co-sponsored and co-facilitated by the Action Alliance\, Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services\, and the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.  \nThe Action Alliance supports policies to remove firearms from potentially lethal situations and give law enforcement officers\, prosecutors\, and courts tools to protect victims\, their families\, and the broader community.  \nPlease note that registration is from 9:30 – 10:00 with the training starting promptly at 10. Please leave yourself time to arrive and park so we can start on time. This is a long training so please feel free to dress comfortably. \nLunch is provided. \n
