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

SUMMARY:In Children’s Best Interest: Applying a Perpetrator Pattern-Based Approach to Domestic Violence Cases in Family Court
DESCRIPTION:Family courts are charged with balancing off child safety with meaningful relationships with both parents. What does this mean in the context of domestic violence? In many instances\, courts are not clearly presented with the perpetrators’ patterns and the specifics of the harm it has caused\, and emphasis on collaborative parenting can work against the best interests of children in these cases. Drawing on work in family court settings in the United States\, United Kingdom and Australia\, David Mandel\, CEO and Founder of the Safe & Together Institute\, will explore how the Safe & Together Model can help legal practitioners and others in family court matters. This workshop will look at the difference between risk and harm frameworks; the importance of understanding post separation coercive control and the targeting of professionals and systems as part of the perpetrators’ patterns; how to best understand and contextualize protective parenting behaviors; the centrality of a behavioral approach to objectivity and neutrality; and how to increase accountability for perpetrators as parents in the family court context. David will also explore themes like the “The Myth of Parental Alienation” from his recent book “Stop Blaming Mothers and Ignoring Fathers: How to transform the way we keep children safe from domestic violence.” \nSpeaker: David Mandel\, CEO\, Founder & Owner \nOrganization/Agency: Texas Bar Foundation/Safe & Together Institute \nCEUs: MCLE 5.5 credit hours \nFamily Violence CJE 5.5 credit hours (Pending Application) \nREGISTER HERE\n*Limited to 50 attendees*

SUMMARY:Law Enforcement Tools and Strategies to Strengthen Relationships with Immigrant Communities
DESCRIPTION:Language access and the U and T visa programs are important tools that strengthen victim\, community\, and officer safety. With over 200 languages and dialects spoken in the United States\, law enforcement agencies face ongoing challenges investigating crimes involving victims\, suspects\, and witnesses with limited ability to communicate effectively in English. Cultural barriers and immigration status can create vulnerabilities for victims of domestic violence\, sexual assault\, stalking\, dating violence\, child abuse\, and human trafficking. Often\, these victims do not access law enforcement or community resources due to fear that reporting will lead to deportation or separation from their children. This training will provide attendees with information about U and T visas and the use of qualified interpreters to build trust between immigrant\, refugee\, and limited English proficient victims and community-based organizations. This interactive event will present promising practices for effectively using interpreters\, leveraging bilingual officers\, identifying technology to support interactions with victims\, and implementing tools to strengthen victim safety\, ensure perpetrator accountability\, and improve community trust. \nSpeaker: Cannon Han\, Senior Program Manager \nLeslye Orloff\, Adjunct Professor and Director \nMichael Wilmore-Crumrine\, Sergeant \nOrganization/Agency: Office on Violence Against Women\, National Violence Against Women Law Enforcement Training and Technical Assistance Consortium (LETTAC) \nCEUs: Pending \nREGISTER HERE\nLimited to 50 attendees

SUMMARY:Addressing Tech-Enabled Abuse
DESCRIPTION:Register HERE \nSpeaker: Adam Dodge \n \nDescription: Today\, we are spending more time online and on our devices than ever before\, which has created new safety risks for victims and survivors. As such\, it has become increasingly important to understand the modern challenges they may face and develop skills that prioritize digital safety. The good news is that we needn’t be tech experts to have an impact. In this interactive training\, we will discuss practical and actionable steps to prevent and respond to common and emerging forms of technology-facilitated harms and help anyone navigate the digital world more safely. \nThroughout the day\, we will explore areas critical to victim safety\, beginning with an exploration of emerging digital threats such as AI-generated image abuse\, online impersonation and stalkerware\, followed by a deep dive into methods to address image-based sexual abuse\, including sextortion and the nonconsensual distribution of intimate images. The session continues with practical approaches to safety planning and responding to allegations. Attendees will learn to navigate unauthorized account access\, nonconsensual tracking\, catfishing\, online harassment and more.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: An Interfaith Panel on Spirituality and Domestic Violence
DESCRIPTION:Description: Many survivors of domestic violence turn to their faith leaders and communities to find support. A survivor’s spirituality and values can provide comfort and guidance on their path towards healing. Yet\, many helping professionals may not fully understand every spiritual outlook or religion. Join us for this interfaith panel to learn what faith traditions and holy writings teach about intimate partner violence. The panelists will share how they are doing their part to help survivors find safety and spiritual peace. Panelists will also provide insight on the religious considerations professionals may need when working with a survivor of various faiths. \nSpeaker(s):  \nAriela Goldstein | Sr. Director of Clinical Services Emerita Jewish Family Services \nReverand Camille May | Associate Minister\, Director of Pastoral Care Highland Park United Methodist Church \nSaadia Ahmed | Nonprofit Consultant Talem Consulting \nOrganization: Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support \nCEUs: 1.5 for LPC\, SW\, LMFT \nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SXQXPwZSQK6zYuYlNpjq-w#/registration
