SUMMARY:ICCR Webinar: Rural Pulaski County Virginia's Domestic Violence Court Model and CCRT
DESCRIPTION:  \nDescription: A domestic violence court is a dedicated docket that schedules all domestic-violence-related cases involving intimate partners on the same day/s and time/s. In doing so\, courts recognize that domestic violence cases involving intimate partners are high-risk and present unique safety concerns. Hearing these cases at the same time allows courts to efficiently dedicate staff and resources to ensure better and safer outcomes. Join this call to learn about the Pulaski Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Virginia\, a civil and criminal domestic violence court model in a rural community with one dedicated judge. The discussion will also highlight the Pulaski County’s Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) and its role in addressing domestic violence in the community. \nSpeaker(s):  \nHON.

SUMMARY:Genesis Lunch & Learn: Safety Planning in IPV
DESCRIPTION:  \nBring your lunch & join us every 4th Thursday \nDescription: Safety planning is an essential part of working with victims of domestic violence. Safety planning begins with helping clients identify what they are already doing to minimize the risk of harm. We recognize that a victim cannot stop the abusive partner from abusing her. However\, when we can equip her with safety planning ideas\, she can feel more confident and competent in navigating her specific situation in a way that hopefully decreases the likelihood of the escalation of violence. \nThis workshop will guide participants through the process of safety planning with victims of intimate partner violence. We will explore the danger signs of physical safety\, identifying what factors can increase a victim’s danger level. Participants will also gain awareness of the emotional safety needs of victims of domestic violence. Finally\, participants will practice safety planning through client scenarios. \nSpeakers:\n \nRuth Guerreiro\, LCSW-S\nChief Clinical Officer\nGenesis Women’s Shelter & Support \nJordyn Lawson\, MA\, LPC-S\nChief Residential Officer\nGenesis Women’s Shelter & Support \nCEUs: 1.5 for LPC\, SW\, LMFT \nLOCATION:\nGenesis Women’s Shelter & Support\nNational Training Center ● 2023 Lucas Drive\, Dallas\, TX 75219\nOr join us for the simultaneous webinar on Zoom by registering HERE \nIf you can’t join us for the live event\, you can contact training@genesisshelter.org after 4/24/25 to receive a copy of the recording.

SUMMARY:DV 101 Series: Realtors
DESCRIPTION:Description: Do you know how to recognize the signs of domestic violence? It’s more common than you think\, and it doesn’t always look the way you’d expect. Realtors frequently interact with clients in their homes\, where signs of abuse may be present\, and they may unknowingly become involved in high-risk situations. Maybe you’ve wondered if a friend\, family member\, or client is in an abusive relationship but weren’t sure how to help. Or perhaps you’re questioning whether certain behaviors in your own life could be signs of domestic violence.  \nThis training\, led by experts from Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support\, will equip real estate professionals with the knowledge and tools to recognize signs of abuse\, provide resources to victims\, and ensure their own safety when working in potentially dangerous situations. You’ll walk away empowered to recognize the warning signs\, offer support\, and connect those in need to the right resources. \nSpeakers: Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support Staff \nJoin us online or in person!\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Genesis Lunch & Learn: Why Women Choose the Bear
DESCRIPTION:  \nBring your lunch & join us every 4th Thursday \nDescription: In celebration of Women’s History Month\, this presentation will recognize the significant impact women have made in addressing women’s equality but also the violence that continues to be perpetrated against them. The observance not only honors women’s achievements but also highlights the ongoing need for gender equality and the continued fight for women’s rights. This presentation will also share the dangers for women hiding behind and within Executive Orders\, legislation and the vile expressions that broadly contribute to a national resurgence of misogyny and reduction of women’s rights. \nParticipants will become familiar with the history of The Women’s Rights Movement as well as today’s threats to eliminate those rights for which our mothers and grandmothers fought so hard. We will examine the impact of Project 2025 on today’s women and gender equality. Attendees will discuss the novel and popular TV series\, The Handmaid’s Tale and learn of the slippery slope towards the gradual elimination of gender equality. The presenter will also share a study from the University of Debrecen\, Hungary which examines the small steps leading to the elimination of gender equality\, describing the Four D’s: Distinction\, Dependence\, Division and Dominance. The goal of this presentation is to better understand the work we have ahead of us to ensure that rights for women are not lost\, stolen or given away. \nSpeaker:\n \nJan Langbein\nCEO\nGenesis Women’s Shelter & Support \nCEUs: 1.5 for LPC\, SW\, LMFT \nLOCATION:\nGenesis Women’s Shelter & Support\nNational Training Center ● 2023 Lucas Drive\, Dallas\, TX 75219\nOr join us for the simultaneous webinar on Zoom by registering HERE \nIf you can’t join us for the live event\, you can contact training@genesisshelter.org after 3/27/25 to receive a copy of the recording.

SUMMARY:Genesis Lunch & Learn: Addressing the Sexual & Reproductive Health Needs of Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence
DESCRIPTION:  \nBring your lunch & join us every 4th Thursday \nDescription: This presentation will share findings from a comprehensive research study aimed at exploring the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). The study involved direct input from IPV survivors and staff from agencies in Dallas and Tarrant Counties serving these individuals. The goal was to better understand survivors’ SRH needs and develop a practical framework for nonprofits to screen and assess SRH needs effectively within their facilities. Participants will examine the link between IPV and negative SRH outcomes and identify perceived barriers in screening and assessing SRH needs. Participants will learn how IPV survivors prioritize their SRH needs and what recommendations IPV survivors have for improving services. Dr. Grace will also outline key components of a phased SRH framework for IPV agencies. \nSpeaker:\n \nJessica Grace\, PhD\, LMSW\nAssistant Professor\nDepartment of Social Work University of North Texas \nCEUs: 1.5 for LPC\, SW\, LMFT \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Left Hand Meet Right Hand: Coordinating an Effective Response to Stalking Cases
DESCRIPTION:  \nDescription: Stalking is a prevalent\, dangerous\, and often misunderstood crime. Keeping victims safe and holding offenders accountable requires that diverse professionals – including (but not limited to) victim advocates\, law enforcement\, prosecutors\, educators\, and others – view their work through a “stalking lens\,” take pro-active steps to incorporate a stalking response into their roles\, and work together in multidisciplinary teams. This full-day session explores the dynamics of stalking\, focusing on the highly contextual nature of the crime by discussing common tactics used by perpetrators\, stalking’s co-occurrence with domestic and sexual violence\, the use of risk assessments in stalking cases\, the use of technology to stalk\, investigation strategies\, as well as tools to plan for victim safety and increase offender accountability. Multidisciplinary teams are encouraged to attend together. \nSpeaker(s):  \nJennifer Landhuis\nDirector\nStalking Prevention Awareness & Resource Center (SPARC) \nDenise Jones\nSergeant\, Intimate Partner Violence Unit\nClark County Sheriffs Office \nOrganization: SPARC \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Surviving Strangulation: Preventing Injustice & Overcoming Defenses
DESCRIPTION:  \nAlthough dangerous and sometimes deadly\, victims of strangulation frequently lack obvious signs of external injury\, often leaving marks on the abuser as they fight for their life. Assaults or homicides that involve asphyxiation are particularly susceptible to being misunderstood by practitioners and manipulated by offenders. This creates unique challenges for investigators and prosecutors who often rely on external signs to identify a criminal assault or homicide. When this happens\, survivors can be criminalized\, predators avoid accountability\, and we miss valuable opportunities to prevent further harm. \nIn some cases\, experiencing a strangulation triggers a victim to kill the abuser. Without proper understanding of strangulation\, evidence to justify the victims use of self-defense is often hidden in the homicide. This talk will also allow audience members to understand a variety of situations where victims of strangulation may use violence as a survival technique\, as a strategy to minimize the severity of abuses\, or to simply save their own life. \nIn a sexual assault that involves strangulation\, practitioners often overlook the subtle but significant evidence that can corroborate the victims resistance or explain their compliance. Improved understanding can assist practitioners to successfully overcome the “rough sex” defense. \nBy gaining a deeper understanding of the nuances of strangulation and its implications for survivors\, participants will be better equipped to respond effectively to cases intimate partner abuse\, sexual assault\, and human trafficking. This training provides practitioners a new lens to see behavior and injuries through the perspective of a survivor and offers better context to commonly misunderstood evidence.  By exploring the legal and psychological implications of survival\, practitioners will be better equipped to navigate these difficult cases. \nSpeaker: Kelsey McKay\, Attorney & Consultant \nREGISTER HERE
