Led by BWJP’s National Center on Protection Orders and Full Faith & Credit, this session explores new and emerging practices for serving protection orders, including electronic service. We’ll look at the latest guidance, highlight promising strategies, and discuss how to ensure these innovations meet the needs of survivors, communities, and justice partners alike.

Sexual violence and stalking are both prevalent, commonly misunderstood, and severely underreported victimizations. In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this webinar, presented by the Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center (SPARC) explores what multidisciplinary professionals need to know about the intersection of stalking and sexual violence. Victim support, criminal justice, and allied professionals are invited to learn about similarities, co-occurrence, and strategies to support victims and survivors of sexual violence and stalking.

In recognition of the widespread impact of vicarious trauma on legal services organizations serving survivors of sexual assault, VRLC recently created a Care Plan Template, which is a tool supervisors and staff can use to implement practices to help mitigate the impact of trauma exposure. During this webinar, VRLC's Maura Crossin will demo the new tool, discuss best practices for organization-wide implementation, and then walk through how to create effective care plans with staff. For questions regarding this training, please contact mdarcy@victimrights.org

In our data-hungry world, it’s important to consider how the information survivors share with us is being collected, stored, and shared. Good documentation practices are just as important as other privacy planning steps, such as digital safety planning and address confidentiality programs.

Everyday, people use technology to harm strangers, their partners, exes, and even coworkers. Yet employers may not recognize these forms of technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) when they disrupt work and impact their employees. TFA harms a person’s job performance, compromises their physical safety, and makes them feel afraid and alone. People experiencing TFA should not have to face this harm alone.
