VAWnet Event Calendar

This webinar from the Peaceful Families Project will explore the role of religious leaders in supporting survivors in their communities.

This webinar will discuss the special protections for immigrant victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking under Violence Against Women Act confidentiality laws and their effect on best practices in court systems, as well as for victim advocacy, legal representation, and safety planning.

In this webinar, Dr. Linda Chamberlain will provide an overview of some of the more than 20 interventions that were identified during the update of the national scan of best practices for children exposed to domestic violence.

This webinar will highlight strategies for addressing the multiple factors that contribute to substance use in the context of domestic violence; promising approaches to the opioid epidemic by rural domestic violence programs; and an evidence-based intervention to increase safety for people dealing with substance use and trauma.

This free program will help participants to recognize the critical importance of understanding the relationship between domestic violence/sexual assault and alcohol/other drug use and substance use disorders in order to safely and effectively intervene and/or interrupt the perpetrator’s behaviors and support the survivor. 

To generate and sustain real change, it is necessary to engage multiple and historically different sectors and disciplines in effective, sustainable efforts in order to prevent violence before it occurs. This year, PCADV's conference focuses on collectively creating and sustaining healthy communities.
