Workshop:
The goal of this workshop is to provide strategies on improving collaboration and communication tactics while working with victims of domestic violence and sexual exploitation.
Beyond arrest: Developing trust, rapport, and a rich resource network with victims of sex trafficking while supervising on parole / probation.
This training will re-cap Sex Trafficking 101 and bring impactful solutions to communications with persons on probation or parole who have been trafficked, sexually exploited, or prostituted. Additionally, this training will show scenarios that impactfully use community-based advocacy to meet the needs of the client while supporting the terms of probation / parole. Lastly, this training will be used as a skill-building workshop to enhance the ability to start meaningful conversations with persons involved in the “life” to gain an understanding of circumstances, build trusting relationships, and assist clients in gaining access to needed resources.
DV 201
Steps beyond a basic understanding of Domestic Violence: Building rapport with victims of intimate partner violence.
This presentation will recap Domestic Violence 101 to refresh participants on the basic principles of Domestic Violence, its laws and victims. Furthermore, DV 201 will dive into case studies, methods of interactions, safety planning, and advocacy principles that assist responders in building relationships with victims/survivors of Domestic Violence. This group will discuss best practices, dos and don’ts, and guide participant interactions with scenarios used to evoke discussions related to positive intent with victims. Finally, this group will work to uncover barriers and stigmas associated with corrections, law enforcement, probation, and social services personnel associated with positive outcomes for the clients they work with.
