SUMMARY:State and Local Partners Meeting
DESCRIPTION:These quarterly gatherings of advocates\, preventionists\, sexual and domestic violence agency administrators\, state funders and other partners serving survivors of violence are opportunities for connection and collaboration on the local\, regional\, and state level. The State and Local Partners Meetings are a unique opportunity for agencies to share their expertise and experiences from the front lines with funding partners who would like to learn more about emerging trends\, needs\, and celebrations among our communities. \nThis year\, we will be moving the focus to our collective work across the Commonwealth. Increasingly\, survivors and advocates often face many of the same issues (such as affordable housing\, transportation\, child care\, substance use\, mental illness\, and lack of community resources) regardless of their location within Virginia. We want to provide a better opportunity for networking\, peer-to-peer connection\, and a space to crowd-source ideas\, resources\, and promising practices. Our first three meetings will be virtual\, and the last meeting of the year will be an in-person opportunity for professional development\, resource sharing\, and networking. \nThis invitation is open to advocates\, preventionists\, funders\, and other partners serving survivors and/or supporting community education on healthy relationships. Our time together will be spent learning from each other\, engaging in discussion on statewide issues\, sharing valuable resources\, etc. We anticipate that participants who join the meetings are coming prepared to engage in conversations that will continue to move forward the work of ending sexual and domestic violence here in the Commonwealth.

SUMMARY:Virginia Restoryation Report Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Virginia was one of 25 states and territories across the U.S. to participate in Restoryation\, a national storytelling project and needs assessment among professionals working in the movement to end sexual and domestic violence.   \n  \nRestoryation not only offered time to pause and reflect on the impact of the previous 3 years on ourselves and our work\, but also to name what is needed to create a thriving workforce and movement going forward. So what is needed to do that?  \n  \nNow that you’ve had a chance to look over the Restoryation findings\, join us for a drop-in Q&A session about the findings and the Action Alliance’s next steps based on the lessons we learned.

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. \nNote: We will try to accommodate last minute language translation requests but we typically need two weeks to secure interpretation services.
