VAWnet Event Calendar

RAFT facilitators invite you to join our brand new Study Lab Sessions! Zoom into a casual, safe, and supportive space to work through real-life experiences and practice RAFT’s resiliency-building tools. Come to connect with other advocates and learn small, doable strategies for creating more sustainable, intentional practices.

Every day, you pour time, heart, and energy into helping others. This webinar gives you permission to turn that same care inward. You’ll learn practical financial tools and habits that help you feel steady, prepared, and more in control of your future, even when the work around you is demanding and unpredictable.

We are often called upon to engage in challenging conversation with clients, staff, partners, and funders. These conversations stretch our skills in crisis response, negotiation, empathy, strategizing, and improvisation. They can make us feel anxious, stressed, resentful, and even burned out. This workshop will help reframe difficult confrontations into brave conversations, offering tools to support your work and ample time for conversation and practice.

Get ready to bring your passion for advocacy to NOVA52 in 2026! NOVA’s 52nd Annual Training Event is your chance to learn, connect, and recharge alongside advocates from across the country.

Join Praxis for an insightful webinar on how advocacy programs can strengthen their services for survivors who are agricultural workers.

Economic (or financial abuse) is a pervasive form of power and control, with research showing that it occurs in 99 percent of domestic violence cases. The outcomes of economic abuse are devastating for survivors, including making legal representation inaccessible, impacting how courts determine what is in the best interest of the parties’ children, and affecting the ability of survivors to comply with court orders and requirements.
