VAWnet Event Calendar

Deaf Survivor Services (DSS), a project under Activating Change, is hosting an informational session to introduce our nationwide Deaf-centered advocacy services for Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Hard of Hearing, and Late-Deafened survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. Join us to learn more about our services, accessibility options, referral process, and ways community partners and organizations can connect survivors with Deaf-centered support.

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. This session features Kimber Nicoletti-Martinez, who will discuss key considerations for survivors in rural and agricultural settings, highlight gaps in access for survivors, and examine the unique challenges facing survivors, advocacy programs, and communities.

Join the National Health Resource Center on Domestic Violence, a project of Futures Without Violence, to learn how health care providers can support their patients who experience intimate partner violence. The webinar will highlight the CUES (Confidentiality, Universal Education, and Support) universal education approach for addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) in health care settings and highlight how this evidence-based intervention can be integrated into clinical practice.

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.
